Term limits for elective office are fake, nonworking solution to problems caused by a broken electoral system; the solution is to fix the electoral system, not to impose term limits (which solve nothing.)

> the solution is to fix the electoral system

Any suggestions? Term limits might well be the least-bad of the feasible alternatives.

This seems too long? Why not 2 and 3 terms? 12 years aught to be enough for anyone.

And sadly

The courts could also use term limits.

Also the cap on members of the house should be removed.

Also the electoral college should be removed or reworked.

... the list of impossible* things goes on.
