Logrolling
The practice is called "logrolling" in which two members of Congress agree to support each other's bills in order to gain mutual benefits and increase their chances of passing legislation. This is often done when members have different policy priorities but can find common ground through reciprocal support.

Members of Congress often support each other based on a simple promise of "I'll vote for 'x' if you vote for 'y.'" This practice of making these informal promises of support is called logrolling. Party leaders and whips keep track of vote debts between party members and use them to gain support when important party-sponsored legislation must be passed.
Members of Congress who wanted war in Britain were called War Hawks.
