Congress will not pass a law limiting their terms, so there is no way to make this happen without having a Constitutional Convention.

No, the easy way to limit terms is simply not to vote for re-election for anyone. Do not vote for an incumbent. Simple, simple, simple.

Two terms is too long, it allows the Representative or Senator to be courted by big money and to establish a war chest of money for his or her re-election bid. Then they are bought and paid for by big money and will have to vote the way big money wants them to vote. One term is plenty.
