It's probably more urgent to get an idea like this implemented for Congress, where people like Nancy Pelosi end up serving for 30 or 40 years.
I think reelection should be harder than it is, for pretty much everyone.

It would take a convention of states to amend the constitution and limit the terms of congressman.

...so let's get to work?
I don't think strict term limits would be wise.  They haven't helped Florida's legislature.
If someone is actually consistently doing a good job, they should not be fired just because they reached a certain tenure in office.
But they shouldn't be able to just stay in on the basis of having more name recognition than any newcomer, which is the way it is now.  They should have to run against "no", rather than "no name goober no one's ever heard of".
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
