In US House of Reps, there is no term limit. States tried to institute term limits on their own US House members, but they were ruled unconstitutional in 1995 in the US Supreme Court case U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton. In that case, the Supreme Court decided that since the Constitution lists the qualifications to be in Congress, states can't add more without an amendment.
