Google searches for the "25th amendment" have spiked today according to Google Trends.
People are finally curious how Republicans can get rid of that senile old man, eh?

Section 3 says Trump can temporarily turn authority over to Vance on his own volition. That’ll never happen. I doubt Trump would do that even for surgery.
Section 4 says Vance and a majority of the Cabinet can force him to step down temporarily. That’ll also never happen.
If you can enact its provisions, Trump is replaced temporarily by Vance. Vance steps down if Trump asserts he’s now fit for office
The only interesting part is if Trump, sidelined under Section 4, says he fit to return, and Vance and the Cabinet say he’s not. Congress has to decide the issue (by simple majority, I guess. That would be up to the rules of each chamber.).
So it would be another big mess, and you get Trump back, or you get Vance. Either way, it’ll happen 24 hours after hell freezes over.
If Vance takes over his owner Thiel will want to put his own thugs in control so the Musk ones know their positions depend on Trump being in nominal control. I can imagine Thiel is one of those billionaires who'd like to pick the carcass of Musk clean.
