Your posts do not show that you do understand the electoral college.

Your constitutional right here seems to be the right to elect Electors. Their decision is then out of your hands and they are total free agents wrt their decision. If they violate the Constitution in that decision can the Courts then step in? Presumably but I am not sure. Could the House impeach? Yes and the Senate could convict and remove.

the electors are the method of how a president is chosen. It has nothing to do with negating the constitutional requirements for the office seeker. It really is that simple.

States do NOT have to have elections to choose electors. Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
