4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President
shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

1. Yup. Somehow Trump's tweet from a couple of years ago

showed up in my feed. He asked if a President can be imprached for gross incompetence. I went ahead and answered "25th Amendment, 4th clause".

4. Pence is most likely compromised by Russia too, so not any better.

6. if true, Trump would have been led or instructed to pick him...

Which raises the question why Trump picked him? The common wisdom is that he was shoring up areas he was weak in... not being a hard core right wingers nor a right wing Christian. But if that's not the case, he had to have been steered to Pence by Manafort.
