You believe that words “mean” something. The attorneys over the years have explained away clear meanings with legal mumbo jumbo that passes for intelligence in the court system. When the constitution requires something, it does not really require anything at all once it has been massaged by attorneys and judges. If you feel like your world is spinning out of control, I can understand that. Nothing means much of anything anymore. The only thing that matters to the Supreme court is how to allow everything communist and tyrannical to be admitted under the commerce clause.

No, actually it's completely straight forward. Individual terms are limited to two years, but there is no limit on the number of consecutive terms one may serve. That's not hard to understand. It's not mumbo jumbo, a legal parlor trick, or any kind of smoke and mirrors. It's not unusual or remarkable at all with regard to the practices of state and local municipalities nationwide, and it sends the world spinning out of control only for people who willfully refuse to comprehend basic and obvious facts.
