> forbid congress [...] their family from owning commercial interests that can be manipulated with legislation

So if I want to become a member of Congress I have to rebalance my entire investment portfolio so that there is no stock of commercial companies in it (directly or as part of mutual funds) and I have to get my family to do the same?



Exactly! I believe the legal term is "beyond reproach".
