Election
In the event of the death of a house member, another person (with approval) can fill out their term under certain circumstances. It has happened a few times, as I recall, where the House members wife has filled out their term.
In the USA, each member of the House of Representatives is elected to a term of 2 years. If someone has to be replaced (due to death, resignation, etc.) any person replacing them only serves until the end of their unexpired term. The US House of Representatives has no limit on the number of consecutive terms someone can be elected to.
There are two years in a term for a member of the US House of Representatives.

One term for a member of the House of Representatives is two years. This was set up to get the members of the House of Representatives to act quickly on a matter.It is a two year term of office.
The term for an individual member of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate is: congressman or congresswoman.

Perhaps the Speaker's term runs concurrent with his or her term as Member of the House of Representatives. That's pretty close. To be specific, a member of the House serves for two years per term, without restriction on the number of terms they may serve. This means, that as long as the Speaker continues to be voted Speaker of the House, and remains a member of the House, their term limit is their life.
