25th amendment to US Constitution (ratified 1967) as to Presidential succession (POTUS succession) if disabled or dies (transfer of power) IMO needs revisiting URGENTLY; NOT clear as to succession

25th amendment needs REVISION particularly as to the potency of 21st century medicine and now increased likelihood of one surviving illness even if disabled; if the mind is INTACT but body impaired,

should you as POTUS remain in place? The invocation and succession as I read the 25th amendment remains unclear…what do you think? What words would you add to the 25th to bullet proof it in the 21st century? Based on modern medicine, modern advances? Remember, we are dealing with a Biden who is non compos mentis (not of sound mind) and his mobility is cratering…a different situation in terms of he should not remain in power. His condition is declining fast and will not improve. Yet his issues present a perfect time and opportunity to amend the 25th to ensure it is bullet proof and clear as to succession and what are the parameters in terms of who should be allowed to serve if disabled etc?

Here is a brief of the 25th:

‘25th Amendment

The 25th Amendment, proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation. The Watergate scandal of the 1970s saw the application of these procedures, first when Gerald Ford replaced Spiro Agnew as vice president, then when he replaced Richard Nixon as president, and then when Nelson Rockefeller filled the resulting vacancy to become the vice president.

Amendment XXV

Section 1.

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2.

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Section 3.

Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

Section 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.’
