The 25th Amendment is primarily used to replace a President or Vice President by the Cabinet that is unfit for office for one reason or another
TWENTY-FIFTH AMENDMENT
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
The first use of the 25th Amendment occurred in 1973 when President Richard Nixon nominated Congressman Gerald R. Ford of Michigan to fill the vacancy left by Vice President Spiro Agnew's resignation.
