Other than for the Presidency and Supreme Court, I could see having Senators and MC (Members of Congress) held to 2 consecutive terms but they would be allowed to run after taking a break for one term.

Due to the cost of running for office, MC could have 3 year terms instead of 2, but still would have a limit of 2 or 3 consecutive terms.

And Justice Ginsberg.....talk about being a Hero of the Republic? She's my hero.
