@cspanofficial: Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spoke Wednesday about a bipartisan bill to prohibit members of Congress and their immediate family members from trading individual stocks. "If you want to day trade, leave Congress. It's that simple," Rep. Roy said at a press conference. "If you come up here with the trust of the American people, do your job." The Restore Trust in Congress Act combines several previously introduced bills intended to crack down on lawmaker stock trading. "It is one of those rare moments where I feel like Washington is working the way it's supposed to work, and it feels foreign, and it feels alien," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said. "But I also think it is proof that the things can work here." Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and President Trump have previously made statements supporting such a ban.

Pass this, then get rid of the ridiculous amount of vacation time they all take as well as put term limits in place with age limits.

Why is this still a debate? Fiduciaries can't front run their clients. Americans can't insider trade. Why does Congress get to do both?
