Term limits only benefit bureaucrats and lobbyists if you let them. People seem to think that the rules wouldn't change if term limits were introduced, but that is a faulty stating point. Current rules in the House and Senate are arbitrarily complicated and slated towards those who served longer, in a term limited world those rules would likely change to be simpler and grant power faster because no one has 30 years to sit around any more. Serving in congress is always going to be biased towards the rich, but there are plenty of positions besides CEO that would be acceptable to have a 2-15 gap especially for a prestige position. If anything term limits make this better because currently politician is a career that can last for 30+ years, but that would require extreme skill to string together a 30+ year career of 5-15 year limited positions.
