#CongressTradingBan Congress Trading Ban: Should it be banned?**

The ban on stock trading for members of the U.S. Congress (Congress Trading Ban) is a hot topic in politics. Critics argue that officials use insider information for personal gain, undermining trust in authority.

Supporters of the ban propose strict measures: either a complete ban on trading or mandatory blind trust management. Opponents argue that this limits the rights of congress members as ordinary citizens.

Recent scandals, including trades during the COVID-19 pandemic, have increased pressure on lawmakers. In 2024, the **STOCK Act 2.0** was discussed, but its adoption is being delayed.

So far, the balance between transparency and personal freedom has not been found, but the trend toward tightening rules is growing. A complete ban may be a matter of time.
