The Congress Trading Ban refers to proposed legislation aimed at preventing members of the U.S. Congress—and sometimes their immediate families—from buying or selling individual stocks while in office. The goal is to eliminate potential conflicts of interest and insider trading concerns, as lawmakers often have access to non-public, market-moving information. While there have been various bills proposed, including the Bipartisan Ban on Congressional Stock Ownership Act, none have yet become law. The idea has gained support across party lines and among the public, especially following high-profile cases of suspicious trades. Critics argue that transparency laws like the STOCK Act are sufficient, but many advocates push for a full ban to restore public trust in Congress and ensure financial impartiality.
