There are no term limits for Congress. Never have been. No one elected to Congress has been forced to serve the length of their term. The only term limit is for the President, and that did not come into effext until after FDR's 4 terms. You are right though that Framers of Constitution did not include term limits because they thought Senators and Representatives (and the President) would want to get back to their districts/farm/business and people simply did not live nearly long back in the 18th century as we do now.
