There's growing momentum on Capitol Hill for a move that could reshape how members of Congress handle personal investments. A cross-party coalition is backing legislative efforts to prohibit lawmakers from trading individual stocks while in office.
The initiative aims to address concerns about potential conflicts of interest and insider trading risks. With support spanning both sides of the aisle, this bipartisan push reflects broader concerns about market fairness and institutional integrity. The proposed restrictions would represent a significant shift in how federal legislators manage their financial portfolios, potentially setting precedent for how public officials approach securities trading.

Well... another theoretically feasible innovation, but I wonder if those guys in Congress can really consciously quit their stock trading addiction.

Now we really have to tie up those guys in Congress; they've long been allowed to manipulate stocks.

Finally, someone is about to take a bite of this cake... Congress members are banned from trading individual stocks. Politely, it's called integrity; harshly, it's because they're afraid of exposure for insider trading.

Coming back to ban stock trading again? Nice words, but it's just because they're afraid of being exposed. That group in Congress really thinks we're fools.
