How long can someone stay an MD?

Realistically, how long can someone stay as an MD? Could they stay as long as they pull their weight or are there term limits?

Also, do VPs get fired if there isn't place for them to move up? Eg: 4 MDs above him nobody shows signs of leaving, are the VPs pushes out for not moving up?
