New House Bill Would Ban Congressional Stock Trading | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Polls show an overwhelming majority of Americans support banning members of Congress from trading stocks. This is an issue that has stalled for years — largely because the very lawmakers who would need to approve any overhaul of congressional investing could face significant financial consequences. Now, it’s coming to a head with a new House bill backed by a strange-bedfellows coalition of hardcore conservatives and good-government liberals. Under the bill, lawmakers would be required to sell their stocks or face hefty penalties. Current members would have 180 days to divest from individual stocks, while incoming members would have 90 days.
