In a better world, a congressman (or woman) should not even be allowed to make profit in the stock market for a living. It is a conflict of interest to their office. And if they are married to someone who is doing stocks that is exactly the same as if they trade the stocks themselves.Let's not forget that Nancy has been married for almost sixty years to Paul Pelosi, who was a successful venture capitalist before Nancy was ever elected to office. He continues that career. They file joint tax returns, etc.
Why is it ok for Pelosi to trade stocks but it is not ok for Trump to continue to own his business empire? I see a conflict of interest in both cases.
So Nancy only makes $250K as a congresswomen and her husband makes all the real money? Then she should step down and let someone else who can conduct themselves with integrity at that (comparative) low salary Speaker of the House job.
