That's not really contemplated under existing laws. So what it should and what I did. So, you know, I was there for three terms. The day I got in, I stopped doing stocks. So I've never done a stock trade since I've been in elected office. And my reason was, why would I want to be in a situation where, like, I take some action and then someday some will say, oh, well, that's because, you know, you know, you own Microsoft or you own this or that.
