STOCK Act passed by House by vote of 417-2

The House on Thursday joined the Senate in overwhelmingly approving a congressional insider-trading ban.

Now the question is whether the two chambers can make a deal — or whether they’ll find a way to stall over details and prevent a bill from reaching President Barack Obama’s desk

Both measures passed overwhelmingly — 417-2 in the House and 96-3 in the Senate last week — but the bills differ in some respects.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) had released several changes to the STOCK Act earlier this week that broadened the bill’s disclosure requirements and insider-trading ban to the executive branch and ensured that lawmakers convicted of a crime couldn’t collect their pensions.

The two “no” votes Thursday were by Reps. John Campbell (R-Calif.) and Rob Woodall (R-Ga.)

1. Nice way to separate yourself fools!!!!!

That is intended to be towards Reps. John Campbell (R-Calif.) and Rob Woodall (R-Ga.) !!!

Maybe they need some investigating done on them.

2. I think that probably one of the reasons why this was able to pass

was that the "liberally-biased media" successfully tied this to Nancy Pelosi ... every time I heard about it, it was "Nancy Pelosi's husband" this and "Nancy Pelosi's husband" that ...

edited to add: I'm surprised that Nancy Pelosi didn't vote against it ... NOT!
