"Betsy Ross of the Capitol." Washington, D.C. Mrs. Georgeieanna Higgins. Official title is Seamstress to the United States Senate, but for years has been called the "Betsy Ross of the Capitol." She is responsible for keeping the flag that flies over the Senate wing of the Capitol in proper flapping order. This is no mean job since the flag flies night and day when the Senate is in session, which means a terrific beating from the elements, an average of 12 Flags is used each session
