Ban Lawmakers From Trading Stocks

Ban Congress members/lawmakers and their spouses and/or dependents from trading during their tenure in office.
We need some sort of neutral oversight. Create an audit team/panel comprised of volunteer citizens to audit Congress members’ compliance.
Too many lawmakers outperform the market, against all odds, and use legislation to line their own pockets, at the cost of the American people.
Market manipulation by lawmakers affects people of all kinds and socioeconomic statuses.
Disincentivize insider trading by removing the option to trade at all.
