Those of you who watched West Wing may remember that the code name for the US President is "POTUS" = President Of The United States.
Similarly, the acronym of the judicial branch is SCOTUS = Supreme Court Of The United States.
The legislative branch, however, is simply called "Congress".
But wouldn't it be wonderful if it were nicknamed the Legislature Of The United States.
That is, LOTUS?
Imagine if that was the name, the peaceful image, associated with our major governing body. Wouldn't that be beautiful?
