Prohibition against Stock Trading while in office

Members of Congress shall not sell/purchase publicly traded stocks listed on any exchange, while in office. Any investments held at the time of election to office will be put into a blind trust with a 3-rd party, neutral management firm, out of the Member's control or the control of the Member's immediate family, for the duration of the Member's time in office.
