And so when it comes to pass that an ineligible person is elected to the Office of President by vote of the Electoral College, what to do? Unfortunately, the founders did not have the foresight to say that in such a case, Las Vegas Ron and Butterdezillion were to be consulted and whatever ruling they made will apply.

Actually, the founders did have the foresight for including something to deal with the installation of an illegitimate president, or any other tyrannical/lawless portion of the government:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

A less dramatic answer is to impeach, convict and remove an illegitimate person occupying the office of the president.
The Confederate States of America tried the rebellion route and it didn’t turn out too well for them. They ended up occupied, disbarred from citizenship and forced to accept the very provisions of societal change that they were rebelling against.
