We need a Constitutional Lawyer to opine here:

If a POTUS is being considered for a 25th Amendment removal by his Cabinet, can’t he/she thwart the removal by firing his entire Cabinet and replacing them with loyalists? Or, is POTUS prohibited from firing the Cabinet when the 25th Amendment process is invoked?

Or, does firing the Cabinet during a 25th Amendment removal process become an impeachable offense?

With a lawless Congress, anything and nothing are “impeachable offenses”. They’ll just make stuff up.

If the President has the wherewithal to fire his Cabinet, I think it would violate the spirit of the 25th Amendment to vote to remove him in the first place.

If the President contests the claim, it still has to go to the house and senate. Where they need 2/3rds in both to remove-Higher bar than impeachment.
