It is there for a reason...but the reason it is there will NEVER be exercised.

The framers put it in there so that when the people elect an unqualified oaf to be President...like Trump...then the electoral college can step in and vote someone else into office.

That...will never happen. Since that's the reason it's there, it probably doesn't serve any useful purpose anymore.

If it were used as it were intended then when the electoral college votes here in a bit they would vote for someone else to be President, probably even someone other than Hillary or Donald.

Fish on...
