I think that congressional term limits are something a high percentage

Indeed, the overwhelming majority of both Republican and Democratic
voters support Congressional term limits.

Agreed. Makes sense too.

Problem is, it will take a Constitutional Amendment to accomplish. The
largest group(s) that oppose term limits

Why does it have to be a constitutional amendment? Nothing says you get
to sit forever. Make it a law. Or if it must be an amendment, revise
the 22nd amendment.

It has to be a Constitutional Amendment based on a decision by the Supreme
Court back in the 90's.
The Constitution does not specify any max number of terms in Congress. It
took a
Constitutional Amendment to limit the President's number of terms to two.
