COngressional term limits are a terrible idea, although I agree with the others. We have term limits already. They're called elections.
I can get behind an age limit: 80 for House, 75 for Senate, 70 for President. That's the upper limit at which you can be elected, and you serve out your term, so Congresspeople and Senatrixes age out at 81.

I would say term limits are, to some extent, moot if you have age limits.
However, 80 is bonkers to me. Cognitive decline is fucking palpable at 70 in the vast majority of the population. I would support a push to an age limit of 70 or the end of the elected term, whichever is longer, for all government work, elected or not.
I'm curious why you think term limits are a bad idea. It makes complete sense across the board if you want to stop this entrenched nonsense where we just have the boomers running everything until the end of time.
