The problem with 2-term limits is that the official has more of an incentive to loot as much as he possibly can as soon as his second term begins because he doesn't have to worry about spinning the looting to voters anymore.

However, I do recognize that the looting probably occurs anyway without fear due to the high likelihood of incumbent re-election.
