House and Senate should be term limited to one term. More time gets more corruption. A senator who is going to be in office for 12 years is worth much more to outside interests and they will pay out much more money to purchase him. ONE TERM.

That sounds good until you think about.

The corruption adapts because that is the nature of man. The corruption would happen faster and with even less fore thought.

The system does work as our founders designed it, don’t mess with they system.

I’ll go out on a limb and say some congresspeople aren’t bad. Term limit could be “can’t go two consecutive terms in off” gives them time to go back to the real world and if they take a cushy job (bribe) their chances of re-election would drop significantly.
