The system certainly needs a table flip at this point.
How about something like the following.
Each person only ever gets a single term. They earn a salary while in office. When the next election comes around, you get to elect their replacement, but you also get to vote on if the person in office, should earn a pension for the rest of their life. They need 50% to earn the pension.
In your second paragraph you touch on why term limits work. It makes sure that the candidates are more closely connected to the people they represent. An incumbent will lose their connection, the longer they are in office.
A touchscreen kiosk is all you need to have the customer place their own order. You just need to have 2-3 ordering stations as they will be slower than trainer staff.
My recommendation is to start with the second movie and make your way to first contact.
Then switch to voyager. If you reach the middle of it, there is no stopping you anymore.
Alternatively, you can switch to deep space 9 after the movies.
