Just curious.....
The only real answer is that The Constitution says so.

I suspect that in the days of the Constitutional Convention, having defeated the British, but still having major issues with powers like France and England, the founders were being protective.

But, even I'm not that old, I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure.

You might ask Tom Earp.
