Pass a law banning stock trading by Congress, the president and the vice president
House and Senate rules can only cover their own members. Banning trading by the president, vice president and other executive branch officials takes a law. Several House Democrats have filed bills that do this, and Hakeem Jeffries backs one of them. Every bill that has not become law dies on Jan. 3, so they have to be filed again in the new Congress.
What's at stake: A law needs a majority in the House, 60 votes to get past a Senate filibuster, and a signature from Trump on a ban that covers him. If he vetoes it, two-thirds of both chambers can override. The House and Senate can ban their own members first through their rules without him.
