Would the Romans ever consider extending the term of a Consulship beyond one year? As the territory of the Republic grew, the unwieldy nature of the system made military campaigns difficult to conduct properly within the system. Consuls were expected to lead armies in campaign, but once campaigns were significantly outside of Italy, it was not as realistic to expect a campaign to be resolved within the term of a Consul. Further, as the ambitions of Rome's leaders began to be turned against its institutions, it became commonplace for them to disregard their term limits anyway and just get elected again, resulting in the same situation.

The only standard magistracy within the Republic that had a term longer than one year was the office of Censor, which served 5 years. The Pontifex Maximus held their office for life, as well. However, both of those options would almost certainly not work for the Republic. At the very least, it would produce a backlog of ambitious politicians vying for the top positions. But an extension of the term of office to 2-3 years would seem to be fairly practical.
