When I worked in a financial trading firm, I had to submit trades that I would make 3 days before hand and then get them approved to make sure I had no relationship to that stock. The same seems fine with me for any government official.

Make a trade request, gets published publicly, a legal body reviews and allows or denies.



This makes perfect sense to me and there are oversight bodies within congress, the folks on the house modernization committee could probably whip up a tool too. Just has to be the will to do so & I'm not sure there's enough outrage on the issue.

Who will be the members of the legal body?


Congr- Oh.... I see what you did there.
