Constitutional quiz for Ken and fun facts (none / 0)
Show me in the constitution were anyone other than a member of the electoral college is "entitled" to vote for the president.

I'll help you out HERE is the part dealing with presidents.

Here I'll help you out some more
Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.

While factually correct your post left out one important item. The States are not compelled to allow anyone to vote for president. In fact it wasn't until 1836 that a State allowed a general election to decide who the electors would be.

Now the bonus round. What State was the first to hold a general election to decide electors?
