Amongst the hue and cry that the Constitution be followed, the 12th Amendment is conveniently forgotten. It says:

Uh huh, and the Constitution also requires that the POTUS be a Natural Born Citizen vs just Citizen for all other positions.....can you kindly explain what the difference is between a NBC vs Citizen?

Suppose we have a corrupt Congress....lol....what would stop them from certifying Putin or bin lyin's kid?

To: Las Vegas Ron; butterdezillion

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.

Instead, they laid down procedures for impeachment, and that’s the only remedy. What about “Shall be President” is unclear or unambiguous? Let me know when you find a Court or a Constitutional Officer who agrees with your positions. It hasn’t happened so far.
