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

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a controversial joint measure that aims to restrict stock trading by Congress members and introduce voter ID requirements. The bill passed with a narrow majority of 232-198, with bipartisan support from all Republicans and 13 Democrats. This move aligns with President Trump's push for greater federal control over elections. The decision highlights ongoing debates about transparency in government and the potential influence of money in politics, as well as the contentious issue of voter identification laws.
