I think he just wants to keep his House seat. For all his libertarian talk, he sure doesn’t believe in term limits.

I know a way to get term limits WITHOUT doing “constitutionally questionable” things.

Support a law that progressively invests in congressional pay/pensions/benefits up to the 12 year mark and then progressively disinvests in them for each term afterwards.

2 years = 16%
4 years = 32%%
6 years = 48%
12 years = 100%
14 years = 84%
16 years = 68%
18 years = 50%
20 years = 25%
24 years = 0%

They are free to stay, but they lose pay and benefits once they pass the 12 year mark.

Career politicians are not an indispensable commodity.
