OneWingedShark says: Honestly, to keep the incumbent advantage down; it's simply to keep a senator from really "settling in" not keep the States from sending someone back for a third term. Constraining the states WRT Senators is the opposite of the intent of the amendment, but a little constraint in the issue is needful.
