US House approves joint measure to curb Congress’ stock trading, require voter ID

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a controversial joint measure to restrict Congress members' stock trading, paired with a voter ID bill, reflecting President Trump's push for federal election oversight. The vote was 232-198, with almost unanimous Republican support and a handful of Democrats joining. This move aims to address ethical concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest from stock trading by lawmakers, while also stirring debate about federal election regulation. The bill's future remains uncertain as it faces further legislative hurdles.
