To: spokeshave
but no President can be President of these United States if he is not on the ballot or certified in all 50 states.

Really? Lincoln wasn't on the ballot in many Southern States.

And since the Constitution allows the State Legislatures to decide how Presidential Electors are selected, and does require that they be awarded to the winner of an popular election in the each state, the winner doesn't have to be on the ballot in any State.

It will be interesting to see if any of this actually does occur.
