Only member function should have authority to invoke any other member function.
But constructor is used to initialise the values to data members. they are constant it cannot be invoked any other constuctor. If they are copied compiler should not understand what is member function and what is constructor, so ambiquity will be raised.

Member functions, not as a lot of people expect; have only one instance loaded in memory when the program is run. All constructors included copy constructor target loading member variable, but member functions have their single instances always loaded in memory and ready to be called.

Well, the basic answer is not possible to call copy constructor explicitly within  a function again.  Because, in the member function it tries to shadow the parameter which is defined at the caller side. 

Hence, we cannot invoke copy constructor inside a function.
