“eligible *to* the office” “Chiefly Archaic”???
Hardly archaic. It simply means able to run for, hold or occupy the office.
Obama’s grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and Obama refuses to release his COLB. That’s enough for me.

Such a short term on FR and your already exposing yourself
as a forum contrarian, as well as a victim of “The Peter Principle”.

Yes, the form of the word "to" as used in "eligible to the office" is chiefly archaic and is no longer used in that form today in any measure. Rather like we no longer capitalize all nouns as they did back then. I provided the definition of that form of the word and cited my source so I'll just leave it at that.
