Who decides what to name congressional legislation?

It seems like all Federal legislation is named the opposite of what it should be named. For example,



The Patriot Act = The Unpatriotic Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act = Paperwork Increase Act

The Tax Equalization Act = The Tax Disparity Act

The No Child Left Behind Act = The No Teacher's Union Left Behind Act



I could literally go on and on wiith these examples. Who gets to name bills and does all federal legislation have a name that is the opposite of its real purpose?







ThanksWho decides what to name congressional legislation?George Orwell was spot on in Animal Farm, eh?
