You wouldn't want Congress to refuse to act against slavery because they had slaves, which many of them did due to their financial interest.
You want Congress, who I think are mostly white supremacists scum or black faced minorities to make the best decision for the country. By being able to dump shares to make the difficult decision without being influenced by stock prices that affect their net worth. For example, they could've bought shares in Google and are unable to insider trade because of some law and break up the monopoly.
The inverse, they could choose not to make a decision that is in the interest of the country by not taking action because it would hurt their stock portfolio.
During the pandemic, many of them dumped shares of companies which was seen in a bad light by the feeble minded media companies, but they had to order shutdowns and lockdowns of companies to protect the general public. You wouldn't want them to do nothing because that would hurt their stock portfolio.
Brian Thompson gambled on merging with a company that would create a monopoly for the benefit of the shareholders. The inverse, you wouldn't want him to not try to merge with a company that would benefit the shareholders because of his financial interest. As it stands now, he engaged in criminal conduct and harmed shareholders. It is assumed shareholders compensated him for this type of risk.
This could almost extend down to CEOs, Congress could give them insider, trading exemptions for taking action to reduce global warming or empower, shareholders to make that decision. Some clown out of Georgia is pushing for this stock trading ban.
