1. Vice president believes the president can no longer carry out the duties of his office.
2. A majority of the 15 cabinet members agree.
3. The VP and the cabinet write a letter [to Congress] stating their beliefs, the president loses power, and the VP becomes acting president.
4. If the president disagrees, he writes his own letter and regains power.
5. If the VP and cabinet still believe the president is unfit for duty, they have four days to send another letter. As soon as this letter is sent, the president again loses power, and the VP again becomes acting president.
6. Congress has 21 days to vote on the president's ability to carry out the duties of the office. If at least two-thirds of both the Senate and House agree he's unfit, the president permanently loses power, and the VP continues to be acting president. If less than two-thirds agree, the president again regains power.
The 25th Amendment made sure it wouldn't be easy to remove a president from power this way. In fact, it can actually be easier to remove a president through impeachment than it is through the 25th Amendment. To invoke the 25th Amendment, you need at least the vice president and half of the executive cabinet to decide the president is unfit for duty to strip the president of his powers and, if the president disagrees, a full ⅔ of Congress must also agree the president is unfit for him to be permanently stripped of his powers.

So I see two thoughts here.
1) The RINOs see the danger to our country and vote with (D)s to remove him or
2) The RINOs vote to keep him on resident as a benefit leading up to the election.
Section 4: “...The President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office...”
There is no doubt Biden is unable to function as President. My view is simple, the Constitution anticipates this situation and lays out the process for removal. Kamala needs to fulfill her oath to the Constitution. Today.
She would be no better than Biden. I don’t see how the country would be better off.
