    What is your solution, that she resign or that she divorces her husband whom she married in college? Her husband’s primary income is from the investment firm he owns, so basically she cannot be a legislator while married to him if those are the rules.

        I would sooner reform shared finances of married couples, at least that of congress, or better yet bar shareholders from running for office, than end Nancy’s marriage of 60 years over her supposed insider trading (which I’ve never even seen a decent argument about, if anything Paul’s trades are kind of shit given her position of power).

      Carter sold his family’s peanut farm.

      Legislators, members of governments and their households should either be forbidden from doing insider trading, with regular detailed audits to ensure it, or should be forced to use blind trusts for investments.

      Her husband’s not a lawmaker. Once again: lawmakers should be banned from trading stocks.
