In theory, the election cycle acts as that mechanism and they'd fail to get reelected. However, a combination of the 2-party-system and general voters' apathy when it comes to politics means that in the vast majority of cases an incumbent just needs to slap a D or R next to their name and they're in office for as long as they want.
