The Framers considered term limits. A modern set of term limits on congressman/senators would address the symptom rather than the disease of corrupt government. institutionally countered the expected levelling proposals from the House.

Percentage of Senators with >16 Year’s Tenure:
1819 – 1821: 1%
1915- 1917: 5%
1995-1996: 14%
2017-2019: 20%

The Framers' Constitution naturally limited the semi-permanent senatorial class.
