Well it may also be the case that there are some very patriotic people who for whatever maybe even military service or diplomatic service haven’t spent 14 years resident in the states, would then propose dropping that requirement as well?

My questions there were not rhetorical.

There is a technical legal argument, and there is a functional argument. You sounded like you were making a comment on the functional argument - the application of the reason for the Constitutional requirement - and I was looking for elaboration.
