I see no stated responsibility for electors to determine eligibility. I do see that there is a process in place for a President or Vice President "elect" who fails to qualify. If the President-elect fails to qualify before inauguration.... meaning the electors have determined who the President elect is, not who is qualified. The President-elect needs to provide for his or her qualification before inauguration.

The same sources indicate some form of circumstances can cause the President-Elect to become unqualified, qualified, and unqualified again, suggesting the lack of qualification is some form of illness or other incapacity of a temporary nature. It is implied the Electors are responsible for exercising their individual judgment as to whether or not the candidate is qualified to receive the vote of the Elector. The Congress then has an opportunity to find cause to object to the elector’s decision, such as the death of the candidate as occurred when Horace Greeley died prior to the voting by the Electoral College and three electors voted for the dead candidate anyway. Once the eligibility has survived the vote of the Electoral College and the objections of Congress, it remains to be seen what other remedies can and will be pursued. Obviously the time is long long past due when action needs to be taken to allow the electorate the authority to enforce the natural born citizen clause whether the political elite like it or not. The time is also long past due when the vote rigging and vote fraud needs to harshly punished with lasting consequences for a lifetime and the integrity of the elections properly secured.
