	The White House Historical Association > Classroom
		Those who revered Jackson had been determined that their hero would be elected in 1828, because, to many minds, Jackson had been cheated of the presidency in 1824 by a "corrupt bargain." Indeed, that election had proven one of the most difficult in the nation’s young history.
		In terms of political beliefs, Clay was closer politically to Adams than Jackson, finding the Tennessee senator inexperienced in public office, a bit vague on what he called "reform issues," and lacking in restraint as a military commander.
		No matter what Clay's motivations, the "corrupt bargain" became a part of the campaign fodder that would put Jackson in the White House in 1828.

		It is his duty to watch the proceedings in the public interest, to issue summonses to witnesses whose evidence is desired by the court, and to prosecute before the election court or elsewhere those persons whom he thinks to have been guilty of corrupt or illegal practices at the election in question.
		The petition may allege that the election was avoided as to the borough or ward on the ground of general bribery, andc., or that the election of the person petitioned against was avoided by corrupt practices, or by personal disqualification, or that he had not the majority of lawful votes.
		In the state of New York the act which seeks to prevent corrupt practices relies in like manner on the efficacy of publicity, but it is less effective than the Massachusetts law in that it provides simply for the filing by the candidates themselves of sworn statements of their own expenses.

	Mad Max as a Disguised Account of Personal Development
		At the manifest level, the pilot is a corrupt father, a thief who is teaching his young son, in the airplane with him, the art of robbery.
		As subtext, the pilot is a corrupt and weak father stealing his son -- Max's -- power and potency, robbing him of the ability to be an independent adult, a man. The corrupt father symbolically castrates his son, Max.
		Here, Max leaves his corrupt family; he engenders or comes to another family in Crack in the Earth, which is still dysfunctional because it can't face reality; and finally, he is able to create a better family for what are now his children.

	State of the unions - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		In the media and political firestorm that followed the revelation in January 2001 that she had harbored a battered illegal alien women in her home, Chavez asked President Bush to withdraw her name from nomination as Labor secretary.
		What I'm talking about is the use of union dues that many people pay as a condition of their employment being siphoned off and used to fund the Democratic Party to the tune of, as I say, close to $800 million this election cycle.
		I call that a "corrupt bargain" because essentially the Democrats then become beholden to labor unions, and because so many union members work for one level of government or another, they're actually funding and putting in office the people who sit down with them at the collective bargaining table and bargain with them.

	OSCN Found Document:JOHNSON v. JOHNSON
		Here a ruling is sought that because Corn entered into a corrupt bargain with the Oklahoma City attorney every case in which he cast the deciding vote while such agreement continued must now be set aside, even though such agreement had no bearing on his vote and regardless of whether the case was fairly decided.
		Corn's statement to the Federal authorities was that his bargain with the attorney was probably made in 1938, but in other testimony he said it was in 1936.
		In the interest of justice, of integrity, of public confidence in the due administration of justice, it should be the law that no man so deaf to the obligations of a judge as to put his vote at the command of another should be permitted to effectuate judgments outlasting the revelation of his infamy.

		Secretary of State John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, for example, was elected only after the five-way campaign of 1824 produced no majority in the electoral college.
		Adams, who had taken only 31 percent of the popular vote, prevailed in the House, and then appointed Henry Clay, the House speaker and one of the presidential contenders, as Secretary of State; the "corrupt bargain," as this extraordinary episode was called, made Adams president but doomed his presidency.

		So what if there really was no corrupt bargain -- the slogan had taken hold in the minds of the masses, and it had been adroitly marketed by Jackson's extremely talented political friends The corrupt bargain charge, in short, was a product that "caught on," like the transistor radio or the hula-hoop.
		After the Civil War, the Republicans created a product that in many ways came to stand for all similar political products -- it was called the Bloody Shirt, referring to the blood-smeared shirts of the Yankee soldiers who had died during the Civil War.
