To: 11th Commandment

The Constitution gives the right certify eligibility for the presidency to the Congress, not the courts. The SCOTUS can’t rule on this.

Agreed, that is why I said SCOTUS will never hear this case.

No, the Constitution allows Congress to certify the election results according to statute, and the statute gives them the right to see whether the states have properly certified the results with matching seals and signatures, etc.

Nowhere is Congress given the right or responsibility to interpret the Constitution. That job is specifically enumerated as belonging to the judiciary.
