The 25th amendment does not invoke itself.

It requires the Vice President to do something—way beyond Kamala’s capacity and intelligence.

Section 4 of the 25th states that ‘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.’

I wonder if that means the Cabinet can initiate the process themselves, or even do it without the VP, or against her desire.
