A casual reading of the 25th Amendment seems to indicate that any action to remove a President for inability has to originate in the Executive branch, with either the President or the Vice President.

Of course if Joe Biden got it into his head that this was the only way he could sit in the big chair....

That is correct.

The only Constitutional method for the Legislative branch to remove a President is impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate.
