A plain reading of the 25th amendment shows that the President would continue to be the President. He would not be removed from office, just prevented from exercising its powers while the Vice President was "Acting President."

Apparently no one who has thought about using the 25th amendment against Trump has bothered to read the amendment, or is able to understand what it says.

Anyway, Pence would have to co-operate with any such plot. Besides that, the plotters would have to get 2/3rds of each House of Congress to go along with their scheme.

“Anyway, Pence would have to co-operate with any such plot.”

It’s been floated around that he was cooperating, or willing to cooperate, with such a plot.
