Court House - Can someone please explain why a president, any president, is limited to two terms in office, but yet it's perfectly all right for a congressman or senator to serve indefinitely, if re-elected? I ask because LoBiondo, at age 68, who once promised to serve only five terms, has been in office since 1995. How is this representative democracy?

Moderator's Note: 
The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution was passed, limiting terms for the office of president, which doesn't apply to Congress.
