Senate blocks Republican bill restricting stock trades by Congress members
Original: Senate blocks Republican bill restricting stock trades by US Congress members
The US Senate has blocked a Republican-backed bill that would have restricted stock trading by members of Congress. The measure, aimed at addressing concerns over conflicts of interest among lawmakers, failed to advance. Efforts to ban or limit congressional stock trading have drawn bipartisan public support but repeatedly stalled in the chamber.
Why now: Congressional stock trading is a persistent controversy, and the bill's failure renews debate over lawmakers' conflicts of interest.
