Useless. They'll have spouses do the dirty deed for them.

Need death as the deterrent.

Exactly. Rules like this are irrelevant because they're so easy to work around through friends and family. Just look at Hunter Biden.

This rule would actually help in that scenario because it's illegal for Hunter Biden to inside trade and legal for sitting members of Congress. He's getting away with his corruption because of a lack of will to prosecute.

The bigger issue is that it would require businessmen to leave companies they work for or are board members of. It would basically disqualify some of the most qualified men in the nation from serving in Congress

Guillotines should make a comeback. Death to any politician that breaks the law or abuses power

Not as useless as you might think. The questionnaires from the SEC include spousal behavior disclosures.

I like your death option, though.

Make it so their spouses or anyone living in their household cant either. That's what brokerages do.
