Senate blocks bill to limit congressional stock trading
Original: Bill to limit stock trading in US Congress blocked in Senate
A bill that would restrict stock trading by members of the US Congress has been blocked in the Senate. The measure, which has drawn bipartisan public support, would have barred lawmakers from trading individual stocks or required them to place holdings in blind trusts. Its failure leaves existing ethics rules in place, and critics are likely to question whether lawmakers are policing themselves.
Why now: Efforts to curb congressional stock trading are a recurring point of public frustration and resurfaced attention whenever a bill fails.
