No. I think age plays a factor into power dynamics (more time to accrue wealth and all), but not enough in our current life spans to be an issue.
Term limits though I support because the ability to manipulate the voting system for decades is far to enticing and creates perverse incentives.
I am running out of time to type up a comment right now, so I apologize for just link dumping, but if you have time, I encourage you to check these out:

The Brookings Institute – Five reasons to oppose congressional term limits

NPR – Term limits for Congress are wildly popular. But most experts say they'd be a bad idea
Sorry, this is one of those issues I go die on a hill for, like hating DST. (And everyone downvotes me!)
