Attractive, but be careful what you wish for. Limiting terms will have the effect of transferring greater power to staffers, lobbyists, and all the unofficial camp-followers. With greater knowledge and experience of how things work, they would be a sort of praetorian guard, leading elected representatives and senators around by the nose and telling them what they have to do.

Several years ago I was scheduled to testify before a Congressional committee on the day after an election, which had seen a large number of incumbents voted out. I could only laugh at the number of staffer running around, trying to find a new employer. Like an ant-hill someone had kicked over.
