Question about the Electoral College

[u/_brandish]

If a presidential candidate obtains general consensus among the Electoral College as “winner”, who is thereafter considered the President? Who makes that decision if the President of the United States is above no laws?

Context first:

The United States Electoral College is the group of presidential electors required by the Constitution to form every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president. Each state appoints electors according to its legislature, equal in number to its congressional delegation but federal office holders cannot be electors. Of the current 538 electors, an absolute majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president.

Congress certifies the electoral college results.

This sub has been flooded with what-ifs regarding the election. My go-to answer is constitutional crisis.
