Native Americans had different names for different parts of the river calling the river above Great Falls Cohongarooton meaning "honking geese" and "Patawomke" below the Falls meaning "river of swans" the spelling of the name has taken many forms over the years from "Patawomeck" (as on Captain John Smith's map) to "Patomake" "Patowmack" and numerous other variations in the 18th century and now "Potomac" the river's name was officially decided upon as "Potomac" by the Board on Geographic Names in 1931, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney South Carolina 1 Yes The Constitution provides checks and balances among the three branches of the federal government Its authors expected the greater power to lie with Congress as described in Article One; George Taylor Pennsylvania 1 Yes Lobbyists A 1774 etching from the London Magazine copied by Paul Revere of Boston Prime Minister Lord North author of the Boston Port Act forces the Intolerable Acts down the throat of America whose arms are restrained by Lord Chief Justice Mansfield while Lord Sandwich pins down her feet and peers up her robes Behind them Mother Britannia weeps helplessly while France and Spain look on. .

In 1971 the cost of running for congress in Utah was $70,000 but costs have climbed the biggest expense is television advertisements. Today's races cost more than a million dollars for a House seat and six million or more for a Senate seat.
