Can a president be removed for illness?
The 25th Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified in 1967, details procedures for presidential disability. If the president declares themselves unable to discharge their powers, or if the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet declare it, the Vice President temporarily takes over. Congress can then decide if the president is fit to return.
