The 25th deals with a temporary incapacitation of the President. It was never intended to reverse an election outcome one doesn’t like.

It has never been invoked for good reason.

Actually the 25th Amendment has gone into effect with little fanfare when the President has a medical procedure that requires him to be unconscious. The Vice President becomes Acting President for a few hours. When the President is restored to proper awareness papers are signed returning the office to the President.

Well said. That is why impeachment is much easier. It needs no cooperation from his cabinet, simple majority in the House, 2/3 Senate. It could be done in an afternoon if they wanted.
And no recourse.
