5. Clearly Constitutional remedies are inadequate

As others stated. the 25th Amendment remedy is not in the hands of the House. And while impeachment on the House side is possible, it would be symbolic at best, although if you can't make a case of malfeasance and dereliction of duty for the President in this situation, one never will. Problem as always is the time it takes to execute an Impeachment and the standing of the Senate as largely Trump owned.

The writers of the Constitution just had no way of seeing that someone so unfit for office could 1) be popularly elected (although I think the hope for the Electoral College concept was that if the voters did make that error, the Electoral College would bring sense to the situation and overrule the popular vote in the greater interests of the Nation. We have resoundingly proven that hope unfounded in reality.) and 2) that person could so wholesale control the Administration establishment through his/her appointees that the 25th Amendment option is rendered effectively impotent.

I truly wish the Dems had gained better control of the House and taken the Senate in the election along with the Biden win so that these now obvious failings of the Constitution might of been addressed. Even if they had, we should remember that ratification of amendments to the Constitution, like eliminating the Electoral College, would not only take Congressional action supported by the President but ratification by the States. Given the number of red states and the timing to get that done, remedy by even the next Presidential election in 2024 I think would be doubtful.
