This inadvertently shows the downside of term limits — if re-election is not possible, then the politician will not care about trying to achieve it.

Flip side of the coin for term limits: The deception, lies and alliances formed for perpetual re- election are damaging as well. The original idea was, they would return to their homes and live under the laws they were making, not the DC cocoon. It also changes the dynamics of those powerful committees if there is a regular rotation.
