    Why do we see variation in first-term president 's corruption? Previous literature of regional comparative politics only provide limited accounts of presidential corruption. In this paper, I provide a theory that presidential term-limit matters with regard to first-term president 's corruption. I argue that when a president is elected at the first time, a president who is under single-term presidency---presidency under which a president cannot be reelected due to constitutional limit---is more likely to perpetrate corruption than under multi-term presidency---presidency under which a president can be reelected at least one more term. It is attributed to whether reelection incentive exists.

Skeptics may wonder: “What is so special about the fact that women are allowed to vote?”

    There had been small signs of corruption from the beginning, such as the milk and apples going directly to the pigs, instead of being evenly distributed to all the animals. Snowball possessed nearly all the traits of a good leader, but he also let it get into his head that he was more deserving than the other animals. Jones had no idea what to do with his power and used it to such extremes. Napoleon was the one who grew obsessed with it, so he used fear tactics and spread false information so that he could feel secure in his authority position.
