Senate blocks bill banning congressional stock trading
Original: senate vote on lawmaker stock restrictions
The Senate has blocked a bill that would restrict members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office. The measure, which had drawn bipartisan public support, failed to advance despite years of calls to curb lawmakers' potential conflicts of interest. Critics of the current rules argue legislators can profit from market-sensitive knowledge, while opponents of the ban raised concerns about fairness and enforcement.
Why now: The failed Senate vote puts the long-debated issue of congressional stock trading back in the spotlight.
