Just curious, but what would be awful with an amendment that say limited people to a lifetime limit of 25 years on any federal bench or 20 years in any elected positions with keeping a 2-term limit on the president?

Legislative offices are different than executive ones. I support term limits for executive positions, they actually have the immediate power of the state. There is a real risk they could co-op the mechanisms of the state and create personal loyalties. Legislators can't do that.

The people who get to stick around and maintain institutional knowledge (and power) are unelected staff and lobbyists.
