Is this fucking up the constitution? I don't think term restrictions were in the original document to begin with

Well to be fair, there wasn't a lot of shit in the original. Not sure why THIS isn't applicable to the House and Senate: https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendment/amendment-xxii

No, but term restrictions should have been for not just all voted for positions but all appointed positions or otherwise government jobs period with a max of all public service being no more than 20 years or so. Add in a ban on "consulting" or "lobbying" beyond 5 years out of office. For good measure deduct a year of eligibility for any government positions for every year "consulting" or "lobbying" prior to election or appointment.

20? You're being gracious. If the President is 8, then the other reps should be no more than 6-8.
