Worse, leadership is never in the role for more than two years. Committee chairs are never in the role for more than two years. In each Congress, in both chambers, all of the members in the most senior class (the ones who just are at the end of their last term) are always about to leave.

I’m not sure why you’re focusing on “two” years. Maybe the term limits could be 10. Or maybe there’s a total for both houses of, say, 18 or something. (Pick a number, I don’t know what it should be.)

(Side note: I am so *totally* in favor of term limits for the Supremes. It would help stop the gaming of trying to find the youngest, most ideologically rigid, least experienced in favor of perhaps people who’ve been around the track a few more laps. Again, I don’t know what the number should be, but I’ll throw out “20”. And no reason they couldn’t continue to serve on some lower level or something.)
