The U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8-7 Wednesday to advance legislation that would ban members of Congress, presidents, and vice presidents from trading individual stocks.

The legislation, called the HONEST Act, would require lawmakers to divest their stock holdings within 180 days of taking office and prohibit them from buying, selling, or owning individual stocks while in office.

Republican Senator Josh Hawley (Mo.) was the only GOP committee member to join all Democrats in supporting the bill, while every other Republican voted against it. One Republican, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, signaled potential support, but only if it covered President Donald Trump immediately.

A previous version of the bill would have included President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance under the law, but the one that advanced exempts current office holders from full divestment requirements until they begin a new term, effectively shielding Trump from immediate compliance.

President Trump criticized Hawley on Truth Social, calling him a "second-tier Senator" and accusing him of being used as a "pawn" by Democrats to target the president.</span

Other Republican senators argued the ban could discourage wealthy businesspeople from seeking office, while others defended the right to make money. This comes after Hawley proposed a separate bill that failed, called the PELOSI Act, named after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who's among the members of Congress known for allegedly using her office to profit personally.

The legislation amounts to legislative demagoguery that will discourage successful business leaders from serving in public office. Existing insider trading laws and financial disclosure requirements already address these concerns, making this an unnecessary attack on wealth that could harm the country's leadership pool.

This bill represents a crucial step toward restoring public trust in government by ending the corrupt practice of lawmakers profiting from insider information. Americans are tired of watching politicians get rich while families struggle, and it's disgraceful that members of Congress use privileged access to boost their portfolios.
