Does this assumption still hold if the term limits are somewhat generous? For instance, 18 years (3 senate terms or 9 house terms)? Almost all of the evidence detracting from legislative term limits centers around attempts to allow only 1-2 terms. But there’s very little about medium to longer term restrictions.
