I agree, any restrictions can be harmful. However, it is not like these unlimited terms congressman won't do big things without regard for long term impact. We have an average of 80+% of re-election rate for congressman in the past several decades. VP, House of Reps and Senate can serve unlimited amount of terms (4, 2, 6 year terms respectively). I'm not asking for 2 term limit, I'm asking for reasonable limits. Unfortunately, this will never happen because it has to be an amendment as the SCOTUS said the states does not have the power to limit the terms: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/U.S._Term_Limits,_Inc._v._Thornton
