Or let them trade but with one or both of these restrictions:

1. Make them subject to the Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act rule against short swing trades by insiders.

2. Their trades must be pre-announced to the public. Allow others to piggyback on those trades. E.g/, if a member of Congress announces they are going to buy 50000 shares of a particular stock in 7 days, other investors can queue buys of that stock to occur at the same time conditioned on the Congress member actually making their pre-announced purchase.
