What is the group that makes the formal selection of the nation's president?

Look up the electoral college process and you'll understand better. Hint: we pick, they pick. This happened because in colonial times, they couldn't decide who should pick the president: the "smart" people or citizens. Hope I helped....

Shouldn't the people of our country have final say about who is our Commander-in-chief and not the delegates?

The US isn't a democracy, it's a republic. The delegates will choose the candidate for each party, and the voters then choose the electoral college. The electoral college then selects the president. I believe your constitution allows you to choose another system should the existing one be deemed to be corrupted.
