The 25th Amendment was never designed for the removal of a president against his will due to incompetence or incapacity.

The 25th Amendment was written for exactly that purpose: to remove a president against his will for incompetence or incapacity. This is why the 25th Amendment set the bar so high for a president's removal (two-thirds of both the House and Senate must approve).

The 25th Amendment was passed, in part, because of Woodrow Wilson's stroke, which left him totally incapacitated for the last two years of his second term.

See my prior post. The 25th Amendment was adopted almost 50 years after Wilson left office.
