The Present Queen's mother was also a Queen Elizabeth? How is the current Queen then not Queen Elizabeth III?

When they speak of the princess royal they're talking about Princess Anne rather than the wife of one of her brothers.

Why can't ordinary americans elect the President? Why do the electors have to go to college?

Because her mother wasn't the monarch. Her father was. Just like the husband of the current queen isn't the king.

The royal bloodline was through the present Queen's father.

Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother was only a Queen consort. In other words she was queen because she was married to the King. Elizabeth is the queen in her own right. She is the second woman with that name to be queen in her own right hence she is Elizabeth the Second.
The first Elizabeth, you might recall, was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
