> Congress has very different constraints when naming bills, but the end result is the same, adding the burden of a hard-to-do-right, yet high-visibility responsibility to already-overworked staffers. I'm not surprised at all that the names for most bills are sappy and nondescript.

The purpose of bill names, particularly ones on controversial issues, is not to be descriptive, it is to be sales tools. Its better to think of them as brand names than anything else.
