I’d like to see a 12 year limit for reps (six terms) and senators (two terms). Only allow them to run again after a four year hiatus away from Washington DC.

Maybe, but there also needs to be a caveat that the 12 years is cumulative, otherwise you get what we have here in CA where they term out in the Assembly then move up to the Senate and term out there. In your proposal a smart, and I use that term relatively, House member could parlay his “stay” in Washington into a 24 year gig!
