What is the term limit for the Speaker of the House?

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.
