Forget impeachment, concentrate on the 25th Amendment to the Constitution

Amen

Forget impeachment, concentrate on the 25th Amendment to the Constitution:

"Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution states, 'Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.' The Amendment contains other more detailed procedural rules that must be followed."
