Pkrbkr,
The 17th amendment cemented the states giving up their power.
The 17th amendment only relates to senators in Congress.

I still haven't seen an argument for why a state couldn't just cancel its own presidential election and just have its legislature decide who to give their electoral votes to.

For example, Georgia's state legislature could have simply disregarded the statewide popular vote and told all of its electors to vote for Trump. That of course didn't happen.
