Longtime Democratic lawmakers are set to oppose a plan by a group of new lawmakers to impose term limits on House leadership and committee chairmanships in the horse-trading to give Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the speaker’s gavel.

“I’m not for term limits,” Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Monday as he walked into the House chamber to vote. Hoyer has served in the No. 2 leadership since 2002 and was elected to serve as majority leader when his party takes over January.
