[QUOTE=pkbites]  
That Cite talks mostly about term limits at the state level.

This thread, per the OP, was talking about government at the Federal Level.

So, I ask again. Except for the President, what term limits are there?

No, not just federal. That’s what the “etc” is supposed to be for. Sorry I didn’t spell that out in detail. Much of the moldiest stuff is at the local level.  
Only the presidency is limited at the federal level. But I think you weren’t really asking a question.
