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

The U.S. House approved a controversial measure to restrict Congress members' stock trading, paired with a voter ID bill, reflecting President Trump's push for federal election oversight. The 232-198 vote saw unanimous Republican support and 13 Democratic endorsements, highlighting a bipartisan concern about potential conflicts of interest. This move is seen as a significant step towards greater transparency and accountability in Congress, although it also raises questions about the balance between oversight and political maneuvering.
