A federal officer is not eligible for re-election for a position after holding that position for the previous 8 consecutive years.That would basically be in line current persidential term limits, would limit senators to 2 consecutive terms, and limit house representatives to 4 consecutive terms. It would not limit someone from holding those positions more -- they would just have to find something else to do for 1 session. It could encourage going back to the private sector.

Interesting idea. I definitely believe that something must be done to limit incumbent power. Another thought, is two years enough time off for Congressmen? Would changing the law to read "holding a position for 8 out of the last 12 years" be better?
