House Votes to Restrict Congressional Stock Trading

This event describes a bipartisan House vote to restrict congressional stock trading, an anti-corruption/ethics reform rather than a constitutional violation. All A-score drivers are effectively zero since the action reduces conflict-of-interest risk rather than eroding rule of law, separation of powers, or civil rights. The mechanism tag 'norm_erosion_only' is a misclassification given the content is norm-reinforcing (restricting insider trading), not eroding. Scope is narrow (only affects members of Congress) and federal, but there's no capture, corruption enabling, or violence indicators—corruption driver is 0 because this reduces corruption exposure. B-score is also low: this is substantive policy news with modest media appeal tied to a campaign/ethics narrative, but lacks outrage bait, virality, or strategic distraction framing. No signs of intentional distraction-engineering; it's a genuine legislative action. Given A<25 and B<25, with clear procedural/bipartisan indicators and no constitutional mechanism of harm, this classifies as Noise.
