the house is elected every two years, this is because the founders wanted the "people's house" to be close to the people, and easy to vote people out of office frequently.
the senate every 6 years was appointed by the states before the 17th amendment, and was meant to be farther from the people, since it was for representation of the state themselves and not the people.
the senate in a sense had it own terms limits because no state would have ever sent the same senator back to the senate for 51 years...IE Robert Byrd.
