a person who is not even eligible to run for President

There are no Constitutional limits on "running for President", the Constitution does not even recognize the electoral method of appointing electors, much less the process of "running for President".

True. Most people don't realize that according to the Constitution, a state could choose electors by picking the first "x" number of names from the phone book if they wanted. The only thing the Constitution says about it is that it is up to the state legislature to determine the method for selecting electors to the Electoral College.
