I completely agree with this! They shouldn't have to divest- but it should become stagnant during their time in Congress. How does a "civil servant" (NP) have a net worth of over 260Million?

As a contracting officer for the federal government, I am not allowed to have a conflict of interest with the companies I am working with. Such as a family member working for them, owning stock or me

I agree don’t make then sell stock or anything they had before they can hold it till they leave. But no active buying or selling and that should be for all of their family also

you dont make 175 a year for 3 years and walk out after 3 years with millions in the bank if somthing isnt wrong. professional players can't gamble because insider, so gov shouldn't be able to trade

Allowing them to retain stocks would mean they'd collude over who's on what committee based on what stocks they and others own. You'd see bipartisan bills, but it'd be for a whole other reason.

You can trade or be an elected official end of story. Also cap salaries and all the benefits that follow after they’re out. Bring them down to a working class level.

The problem is there will always be a way around it. Like having a family member do it for you

Or make the trading available on a public website that’s free on every trade as it’s made

Imminently reasonable bill. Keep what you have when you step into office but you’re banned from adding or subtracting to your portfolio/businesses while your in office and for 3 years after you leave

Just a thought, we have a vote and not let them decide WHT they can or can't do.

it doesn't even matter. their spouses or kids or family will just receive the info and make the trades for them. or they will get an llc and trade under that
