Requires federal officials to sell stocks or resign from office.
The problem
Some people worry that federal officials might make government decisions based on personal financial interests rather than the public good.
The proposal
The bill would force federal employees and elected officials to either sell their stock holdings or step down from their government positions.
The impact
Federal officials and politicians would lose ability to own stocks while serving. This affects Congress members, judges, and executive branch employees.
Officials who don't own stocks can't profit from decisions they make in office. This could increase public trust that leaders act for the country's benefit, not personal gain.
Instead of complicated rules about what stocks officials can own, one clear rule applies to everyone. This makes it easier to enforce and understand.
Government insiders can't use their positions to time stock trades for profit. This creates a more level playing field for regular investors.
Forcing officials to sell retirement savings and investments might discourage qualified people from working in government. They could earn more money in private jobs without this restriction.
The rule restricts what people can do with their own money just because of their job. Some argue this is unfair to government workers compared to other jobs.
Checking that officials actually sold stocks and enforcing penalties could be complicated. Offshore accounts and family members' stocks might be hard to track.
Officials forced to sell long-term investments quickly might take losses or pay taxes. This could unfairly harm their financial security after government service.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
