Hello, I'm doing a Government project on the history of campaign finance and I was wondering if there was a term for this concept I've noticed, for example;
Presidents become president through the loopholes in campaign finance laws, so therefore they will not change those laws once in power because that's how they a) initially got into office and b) can be reelected into office.
I noticed this concept initially with Theodore Roosevelt.
Is there a title of this concept? Thank you, hopefully this post is relevant to this subreddit.
I think we can allow this here. ;) I suggest you might also try /r/AskSocialScience and maybe /r/Ask_Politics.
The closest thing I can think of is public choice theory.
