华盛顿9月30日电——美国参议院周三否决了一项对议员股票交易施加新限制的法案，民主党人拒绝提供足够票数推动该法案通过，理由是该法案未完全禁止议员股票交易。
参议院以53票赞成、47票反对的结果终止了共和党就这项党派法案展开辩论的行动，该法案已于7月在众议院获得通过。要越过参议院的程序性障碍，该法案需要60票赞成票。

该法案未能通过，加上参议院否决了旨在降低家庭不断上涨的电费的无关法案，不过这仍让共和党人有希望在11月3日中期选举竞选的最后几周对民主党发起新的攻击。
多年来，选民们对议员们进行的数千笔股票交易表示愤怒，许多人认为鉴于议员们的特权地位，这些交易是不当的。
国会议员们通常在闭门情况下制定立法，同时却会交易那些价格可能受参众两院行动影响的股票和债券。

该法案还包含一项共和党提案，旨在收紧美国选举投票所需的照片身份证明要求——民主党人将这一条款称为“毒药丸”，称这将使符合资格的公民更难在联邦选举中投票。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩在周二的新闻发布会上表示，该法案的条款“直击美国民众深切关注的问题的核心”。
这项《停止内幕交易法案》将禁止国会议员、其配偶和受抚养子女购买上市公司股票。但民主党人对该法案允许议员保留现有股票、用股息购买更多股票以及允许配偶或子女代为交易的条款感到不满。
多名共和党人在参众两院的竞选活动似乎岌岌可危，两党领导人精心安排了此次投票，以表明他们正在回应选民的担忧。此次投票之际，大量美国人因伊朗战争导致的高能源价格以及高利率使借贷变得困难而感到恼怒。

参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默领导了对该法案的反对。
“共和党人又一次孤注一掷，假装他们在打击腐败，而他们真正想要的是捞取政治资本，因为他们知道自己在竞选活动中陷入了困境，”舒默对记者表示。
许多民主党人公开支持全面禁止国会议员进行股票交易，一些人还希望将这一禁令扩大到总统、其他行政部门官员以及美国最高法院。
非营利组织“共同事业”12月的一项研究发现，去年两党国会议员共进行了13324笔交易，总价值达6.356亿美元。
与此同时，据7月的媒体报道，总统唐纳德·特朗普在2025年进行了21000笔证券交易，使其账户资产增至8.5亿多美元。
这位共和党总统多次辩称，股价创历史新高证明他的政策正在奏效，尽管许多努力应对高生活成本的美国人根本没有投资股票市场。

围绕股票交易监管力度的争论正值11月3日中期选举竞选期间，此次选举将决定明年国会参众两院由共和党还是民主党掌控。
目前共和党在两院均持有微弱多数席位。

US Senate blocks bill to limit stock trading by lawmakers

WASHINGTON, Sept 30 – The US Senate on Wednesday blocked legislation placing new restrictions on stock trading by members of Congress, as Democrats refused to provide enough votes to advance the measure toward passage, arguing that it falls short of a full ban.
By a vote of 53-47, the Senate halted a Republican drive to open debate on the partisan bill, which was passed in July by the House of Representatives. Sixty affirmative votes were needed to get the legislation over a Senate procedural hurdle.

The bill’s failure, coupled with the Senate defeat of unrelated legislation aimed at tamping down households’ rising electricity costs, nonetheless gives Republicans hopes of delivering a new line of attack against Democrats in the closing weeks of the November 3 midterm election campaigns.
For years, voters have expressed outrage over the thousands of stock trades by lawmakers that many argue are improper given lawmakers’ privileged position.
Members of Congress shape legislation, often behind closed doors, and at the same time execute trades on stocks and bonds whose prices could be affected by actions in the House and Senate.

The legislation also contained a Republican provision to tighten requirements on photo IDs needed to vote in American elections – language Democrats labeled a “poison pill” they said would make it more difficult for eligible citizens to vote in federal elections.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said in a press conference on Tuesday that the bill’s provisions “strike at the very heart of issues that the American people care deeply about.”
The “Stop Insider Trading Act” would prohibit members of Congress, spouses and dependent children from buying stocks of publicly traded companies. But Democrats bridled over their ability to keep stocks they already hold, let them use dividends to buy more shares and allow spouses or children to trade on their behalf.
With several Republicans’ campaigns for the House and Senate appearing to teeter on defeat, party leaders orchestrated the vote to demonstrate that they were addressing voters’ concerns. The effort comes at a time when large numbers of Americans are chafing over high energy prices caused by the Iran war, and high interest rates making borrowing difficult.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer led the revolt against the bill.
“Another desperate Republican attempt to pretend they’re fighting corruption when what they really want is to score political points because they know they’re drowning in their campaigns,” Schumer told reporters.
Many Democrats are on record favoring a total ban on stock trading by members of Congress, with some wanting to extend that to the president, other members of the executive branch and to the US Supreme Court.
A December study by Common Cause found that last year members of Congress from both parties executed 13,324 trades totaling $635.6 million.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump notched 21,000 securities trades in 2025, according to media reports in July, which grew his accounts to over $850 million.
The Republican president repeatedly has argued that record stock prices were proof that his policies were working, even though many Americans struggling to deal with high living costs are not invested in the stock market at all.

The fight over how far to go on stock trades comes in the midst of campaigns leading up to the November 3 midterm elections that will determine whether Republicans or Democrats have control next year in each chamber of Congress.
Republicans currently hold slim majorities in both.
