"A President-Elect is a person who has received a majority of the Electoral College votes but has not yet been sworn in as President.",

You just made my point, except that legally-speaking, he isn't a "President elect" until Congress has ratified the electoral college results. Before that, he is of no title , just someone who "supposedly" won the election. If you claim to be the "President elect" and Congress decides otherwise when the electoral college results are ratified, then you, in fact, are not, and never was "the President elect".

Once you become, legally, the President elect, you still must "qualify" before being allowed to ascend to the office of President. That can only mean one thing, meet qualification standards for the office of President which include eligibility requirements.

A President-Elect “qualifies” by not assuming room temperature before Inauguration Day and being able to take the Oath of Office on Inauguration Day.
Determining a candidate’s eligibility to compete for Electoral votes is the responsibility of each state. In most states, its the responsiblity of the state level Secretary of State.
