I still don’t see a constitutional right to vote for president of the US.

Let's try it this way, the definition of Republic:

republic n 1 : a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and is usually a president; also : a nation or other political unit having such a government 2 : a government in which supreme power is held by the citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives governing according to law; also : a nation or other political unit having such a form of government Source: NMW

In the context of the United States, both definitions apply.

A system whereby the elected officers and representatives, chief of state not a monarch, usually a president, are elected by the citizens who are entitled to do so, have the right. If we did not have this right, the phrase would not be used in subsequent amendments.

As with Amendment X, the Founders didn't think that every single thing/detail had to be spelled out in simple English in order that it be comprehended by posterity.
