Biden said he doesn't know how lawmakers could trade stocks in good conscience while representing their states or districts.

Legislation to ban congressional stock trading has been introduced repeatedly in recent years but has never been passed.

A bipartisan group of senators this year introduced a proposal dubbed the ETHICS Act .

The bill would bar lawmakers from buying stocks and other covered investments.
