The only way term limits can be imposed on Congress is through the ratification of a Constitutional Amendment. The State of Washington learned this the hard way when they passed a law to limit terms of Congressmen in their state. The Supreme Court quickly shot down the law as unconstitutional.
In the elections of 1994, part of the Republican platform was to pass legislation setting term limits in Congress. After winning the majority, they brought the constitutional amendment to the House floor. The amendment limited members of the Senate to two six-year terms and members of the House to six two-year terms.
