The US government doesn't work like that. There isn't some logical person making logical decisions.

For this change to occur, many senators and representatives would have to be directly and personally incentivized to make the change.

They aren't.

Moreover, they're incentivized to do the opposite. Expats aren't a sympathetic group to any major voting demographic.
