Prohibition of Stock Trading in the U.S. Congress.

In 2025, calls increased to prohibit members of the U.S. Congress from trading stocks. Bill H.R.1908, introduced by Representative Tim Burchett, aims to prevent congress members and their families from trading stocks. In the Senate, a bipartisan proposal led by Jon Ossoff and Josh Hawley advanced in committee, seeking to prohibit the ownership and trading of stocks by legislators and their dependents until 2027. These initiatives respond to allegations of insider trading, such as in the case of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who purchased stocks before a pause in trade tariffs.
