To make it even more interesting, cabinet members serve at the pleasure of the president. He can fire them at any time.

So if a president gets a hint that a 25A action might be on the way, he could immediately fire the all cabinet members whom he perceives to be disloyal. Then what?

I suppose the only remedy then would be impeachment.

The 25th Amendment requires a two-thirds vote in both Houses of Congress.

Impeachment and removal only requires a simple majority in the House and a two-thirds vote in the Senate.

It’s EASIER to remove a President through impeachment and conviction than through some kind of bizarre 25th Amendment process.

You’re absolutely right. That’s one of its deficiencies. Or is it? Is that a bug or a feature?
