US Senate blocks bill to limit stock trading by lawmakers
The US Senate has blocked legislation that would have restricted stock trading by members of Congress. The bill would have barred lawmakers from buying and selling individual stocks, a measure pushed by critics who argue that trading by legislators creates conflicts of interest. The failure leaves the current ethics rules in place, and the debate over congressional stock trading is expected to continue.
Why now: Debates over congressional stock trading and conflicts of interest remain a contentious issue in US politics.
