>Regardless of whatever all the legal jargon says
That link was not to some legal jargon. It was to the text of the US Constitution. The Constitution DOES NOT say that the president is to be selected by the people via general election. Only the choice of Representatives is explicitly given to the people. Senators and presidents are selected by the state governments. Putting that matter to plebiscite is modern common practice, but not a constitutional requirement.
