By honoring term limits, Republicans promised to bring new ideas and fresh leadership to Washington, sweeping away the entrenched fiefdoms Democratic barons had carved out during the four decades the party ran the House of Representatives. Unfortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that limiting the number of years a lawmaker can hold office would require the states to amend the Constitution. That's part of the internal rules that govern the structure of Congress.
