Senate blocks Republican bill restricting members' stock trades
Original: Senate blocks Republican bill restricting stock trades by US Congress members
The US Senate has voted down a Republican-led bill that would have restricted stock trading by sitting members of Congress. The proposal was part of a long-running debate over lawmakers trading individual stocks while having access to non-public policy information. Supporters of such bans argue the current rules create conflicts of interest, while opponents question the need for new restrictions.
Why now: People are discussing congressional stock trading and ethics in Washington following the Senate vote.
