#CongressTradingBan

The hashtag #CongressTradingBan typically refers to calls for banning members of Congress from trading stocks or making financial investments in companies that might present conflicts of interest due to their legislative roles. The idea behind it is to ensure that lawmakers aren't profiting from information or decisions they make in office, promoting fairness and preventing potential corruption.

This has been a recurring issue in American politics, as some members of Congress have been accused of making profitable stock trades based on insider knowledge of upcoming legislation. A few proposals, like the Ban Conflicted Trading Act, aim to impose restrictions or bans on trading by members of Congress and certain government officials.

What are your thoughts on this? Should lawmakers be prohibited from trading stocks while in office?
