#CongressTradingBan The proposal to prohibit stock trading by members of Congress in the U.S. aims to increase transparency and avoid conflicts of interest. The current law, known as the STOCK Act, requires legislators to disclose their financial transactions within 30 to 45 days. However, many Americans believe this is not enough.

*Key points of the proposal:*

- *Prohibition of individual trading*: Members of Congress and their families would not be allowed to trade individual stocks.

- *Use of diversified funds*: Legislators could use diversified funds or blind trusts to manage their investments.

- *Transparency*: The proposal aims to enhance transparency and accountability in Congress's trading practices.

*Public support:*

More than 80% of Americans, regardless of party affiliation, support the prohibition of stock trading by members of Congress. The proposed TRUST in Congress Act, introduced by Representatives Chip Roy and Seth Magaziner, aims to address these concerns.#BTC
