I think the idea is to prevent existence of whole generations of people who have no connection to the country at all, but who are nonetheless citizens. Specifically to prevent someone who has no real connection to the country of holding its highest executive office. My comment referred to the residency requirement for transmission of citizenship, not the natural-born requirement for election to the presidency.
