#CongressTradingBan Trading in the United States Congress refers to the buying and selling of stocks or other financial assets by legislators while they are in office. This practice has generated controversy, as congress members have access to privileged information that could influence the markets. Although there is the STOCK Act, which requires reporting these transactions and prohibits the misuse of confidential information, questionable cases have been recorded. This issue has sparked ethical debates about conflicts of interest and proposals to prohibit members of Congress from making investments while holding public office.
