... Sam, the US government (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uncle

(Other definitions for uncle that I've seen before include "Male relative - pawnbroker" , "Brother of one's parent" , "takes the pledge" , "Male family member" , "Pawnbroker's nickname" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
