It won't survive a court challenge, as the Supreme Court already ruled on this back in 1995 in the case of U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton. The ruling says that states can't add additional eligibility requirements to be elected to or otherwise serve in federal office beyond what the constitution lists.

Let's think outside the box. Make all elected officials felons after two terms :)

You act like this Supreme Court is above completely throwing precedent out the window.
