A: There are term limits, but only so far as the length of a term, not the number of terms a member of Congress may serve. Terms are two years for representatives and six years for senators, with both enjoying unlimited terms. There have been developments on the issue you raise (limiting the number of terms), such as proposals to amend the Constitution. Good luck
