When a senator gets elected they serve for six years in one term (a representative serves two years in their term.) They can get re-elected as many times as they want until they die or commit a felony. In my opinion, members of congress need to have term limits like the president does so corruption in the capitol would reduce. Some senators have been there for 42 years!
