I don’t know how you would enforce a trading rule on Congress though, it would just be more handing waving bullshit. If we wanted to make sure they are in the clear they should not trade stocks at all, give them a raise if that’s what it takes to keep them from being corrupt.
$1,000,000 per year but you can’t fuck with foreign entities, can’t play the market or invest during the entire duration of your term, and you have to live stream your entire life via public body cam 24/7 so we know you’re not making back room deals.
Heck they have to sell all investments and the government will hold the value in gold for the duration of their term.
Oh while we are at it no parties can endorse Congressional or Senate candidates anymore, repeal the 17th amendment, and districts must be free to choose someone who represents THEIR DISTRICT not their party.
