Best Answer

The acronym seems to be a linguistic analogy of Scotus. Walter Phillips published the Phillips Code in 1879 (a collection of useful shorthand for rapid news transmissions via telegraph) and included Scotus as an acronym commonly used for the "Supreme Court of the United States". E.E. Bruckner revised the Phillips Code in 1925 and included Potus. Usage of the term has waxed and waned over time.
