This would ruin the political parties. The only way they survive is that any rep or senator who says "screw you, I'm in office now and you can't make me do anything" finds that the party withdraws campaign support next go round.

With no one (hardly ever) getting a second term in office, without there being campaign money, parties die. Maybe the polarization dies too.

Oh, and no need for term limits anymore. Sort of baked in, without needing to be explicit.

I'm undecided on whether we'd get more ijit populism or less.

Quite honestly, I think senators should be picked by the states... the 17th was a mistake. It made a bicameral Congress essentially unicameral.
