Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 1756, also known as the "Prohibition of Defense Industry Stock Trading by Members of Congress Act," aims to prevent Members of Congress and their spouses from owning or trading stocks in the defense industry. The bill seeks to address concerns about potential conflicts of interest and insider trading by prohibiting lawmakers from profiting off of their positions in government.

If passed, the bill would require Members of Congress and their spouses to divest any existing holdings in defense industry stocks within 90 days of the bill becoming law. Additionally, lawmakers would be prohibited from purchasing or trading stocks in the defense industry while serving in Congress.

The bill also includes provisions for enforcement and penalties for violations. Members of Congress found to be in violation of the prohibition could face fines or other disciplinary actions. Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 1756 is to promote transparency and ethical behavior among lawmakers in relation to their financial interests in the defense industry. By prohibiting stock ownership and trading in this sector, the bill aims to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that Members of Congress are acting in the best interests of the public rather than their own financial gain.
