The 25th Amendment is not for a situation like this, it is for a situation where a President is incapacitated. So, imagine if Kennedy hadn't died right away, but was instead in a coma. He couldn't execute the duties of the Presidency, but he also couldn't have those duties taken away. This is the situation the amendment seeks to resolve.
If it is triggered, all the President has to do is transmit a message to Congress stating "Nah, I'm good" to get his office back. Unless the VP and enough of the Cabinet all continue to say he's actually incapacitated, and then it takes a 2/3 vote in both houses to permanently remove the President from office.
So it is actually easier, procedurally, to remove a President via impeachment, as it does not require the VP or any Cabinet members, and only a majority of the House, not 2/3. And, if his major issue is that he said stupid shit to the Military, impeachment is the more proper way to do it anyway.
Be careful with words! INCAP, DECAP, so very similar!!
