华盛顿讯——共和党推动通过众议院已表决通过的股票交易监管法案的努力周三在参议院未能成功，民主党人士认为该限制措施力度不足，同时反对其中的选民身份证条款，称该条款将削弱邮寄投票的效力。
此次表决以53票赞成、47票的党派划线结果未能达到推进法案所需的60票门槛。
这项被称为《禁止内幕交易法案》的法案于7月在众议院获得通过，得到了所有共和党议员和13名民主党议员的支持。该法案将禁止议员、其配偶及受抚养子女购买公开交易的股票，并要求他们至少提前一周公开披露每一笔拟进行的股票出售交易，以限制他们利用内幕信息获利的能力。
但民主党人士认为该法案力度不足，敦促应直接禁止国会议员、总统及其政府成员进行股票交易。
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默在表决前于参议院议场发言称：“共和党这项形同虚设的股票交易法案，就像潜艇上的纱门一样毫无用处。”“我们要明确：他们甚至根本不想让它通过。他们设计这项法案就是为了让它失败。”
这位纽约州民主党议员本周早些时候就对该立法表示强烈反对，并指出该法案不适用于行政部门。他声称共和党“将白宫从他们所谓的反腐打击行动中排除了出去”。
民主党人士还将法案中要求联邦选举选民出示带照片身份证件的条款视为一个“毒药丸”，旨在促使他们反对更受民众欢迎的股票交易限制措施。这一无关条款被加入法案，此前特朗普总统曾向国会施压，要求在中期选举前通过与选举相关的立法。
共和党领导人于周三推进此次表决，当时参议员们正准备离开华盛顿前往竞选活动现场。当天晚些时候，共和党人还提出了另一项旨在保护美国人免受数据中心相关能源成本影响的法案。此前外界预计这两项表决都将失败，此举旨在让民主党人就相关问题公开表态，而当前参议院共和党人面临多场竞争日趋激烈的竞选，明年参议院控制权的归属存在不确定性。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党议员约翰·图恩称该法案是一项“常识性立法”，并指出其中包含股票交易限制和选民身份证要求。
“这是一项相当简单的举措，”图恩说，“但这是确保国会议员达到美国民众理应期待其代表达到的标准的重要方式。”
近年来，议员们已多次尝试禁止国会议员进行股票交易。但舒默认为，最新的这项法案“并非股票交易禁令，而是共和党人为挽回颜面的最后一搏”。这位纽约州民主党议员表示，如果共和党真的想禁止股票交易，他所在的党团“已经准备好推进相关工作”。
Senate Democrats block bill to limit lawmakers’ stock trades, citing voter ID provision

Washington — A Republican-led effort to approve a House-passed stock trading bill fell short in the Senate on Wednesday, with Democrats arguing the restrictions don’t go far enough while pushing back against a voter ID provision that they argue would gut mail voting.
In a 53 to 47 vote that fell along party lines, the measure failed to reach a 60-vote threshold needed to advance.
The bill, known as the Stop Insider Trading Act, passed the House in July with the support of all Republicans and 13 Democrats. It would prohibit lawmakers, their spouses and dependent children, from purchasing publicly traded stocks, while requiring that they publicly disclose each intended sale at least a week in advance to limit their ability to profit off insider information.
But Democrats argued that the bill doesn’t go far enough, urging that an outright ban is needed for members of Congress — along with the president and members of his administration.
“The Republican toothless stock-trading bill is as ineffective as a screen door on a submarine,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor ahead of the vote. “And let’s be clear: they don’t even want it to pass. They designed the bill to fail.”
The New York Democrat railed against the legislation earlier this week, while noting it wouldn’t apply to the executive branch. He claimed that Republicans “carved the White House out of their supposed crack down on corruption.”
Democrats also saw the bill’s provision requiring voters to show photo identification when voting in federal elections as a poison pill designed to prompt them to vote against the more popular stock-trading restrictions. The unrelated provision was included in the bill as President Trump has put pressure on Congress to approve elections-related legislation ahead of the midterms.
GOP leaders moved ahead with the vote on Wednesday as senators prepare to leave town to hit the campaign trail, bringing up the vote alongside another bill aimed at shielding Americans from energy costs attributed to data centers later in the day. The votes, which were expected to fall short, aimed to put Democrats on the record on the issues at a time when Senate Republicans face several races that have grown more competitive, putting control of the upper chamber next year into question.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, called the bill a “common-sense piece of legislation,” pointing to its limits on stock trading and the voter ID requirement.
“It’s a pretty simple measure,” Thune said. “But an important way to ensure that members of Congress are held to the standards that America should be able to expect of their representatives.”
Lawmakers have pursued a number of efforts to ban congressional stock trading in recent years. But Schumer argued that the latest bill “isn’t a stock-trading ban, it’s Republicans’ last-ditch effort to save face.” If Republicans want to ban stock trading, the New York Democrat said his caucus is “ready to go.”
