I definitely understand the arguments against limits. And honestly i question my own desire for them.

I think, though, that there are inherent psychological issues both with having power for long stretches of time and being inundated in the political machine for long stretches of time.

I'm not advocating for 2 term limits or anything that brief, but i think spending too long on that machine makes you too out of touch and has too much potential for corruption. A reasonable upper limit (something like 4 terms on a 6 year term, 24 years maybe) would give people plenty of time to do their thing, make their mark, etc, whilst keeping fresh perspectives and preventing too much of the most powerful positions being held by people who no longer remember what it's like to not be a part of that machine.
