"Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 if they have completed at least 5 years of service, or at any age after completing at least 25 years of service. The amount of the pension depends on the number of years of service and the average of the highest 3 years of salary."

That means that if you are elected to the Senate for one term you will receive a pension. For 5 years of "service."

Do you know of any other job where you get a pension after only 5 years?
