The 25th Amendment wasn't created for laughs. It was created to preserve the Union. To ensure that if a President becomes incompetent, he is removed from power so as not to make decisions that could be harmful to the United States and its Citizens. The 25th Amendment is paralyzed by each party wanting to retain power and being unwilling to shed any light on the competency of the President because of the desire to retain power. The welfare and well-being of the American people and our constitutional system of government depends upon the checks and balances built into the system being applied when necessary. So it seems the government has to figure out a way to activate the 25th Amendment in a bi-partisan fashion, when necessary, so the American people can feel safe with the person behind the wheel driving our country.
