    Term limits make more elected officials lame ducks. That weakens their power relative to the civil service and the unelected party bureaucrats.

      Term limits don’t stop the seat from voting, it just makes the seat more likely to promote change and new ideas and perspectives. It actively helps remove the oldest members of congress. There will always be a senate or congress seat, the term limit is for the person sitting in it.
