      That's why when the went to put Reagan under when he was shot, he said to the surgical team, "I hope some of you are Republicans." At some point during the surgery, one of the doctors had to hold the President's beating heart in his hands and lift it out so they could get to a bullet. Imagine that. I once saw an interview w/the guy. The incredulity of the situation was not lost on him.

      The 25th Amendment actually does let the vice president take over if the president is found to be unable to perform their duties, all it takes is a vote by cabinet members but it's never so much have been attempted yet. There was some talk of doing it while Trump was in office.
