      Yes. The 25th explicitly requires the involvement of the VP.

      It could be argued that the Speaker of the House could do it if the VP position were vacant, but the 25th does not explicitly consider that situation.

          I agree, he likely won’t be able to hold MAGA on his own.

          However, it’s also likely that this is his only chance at the presidency. If he comes to that same conclusion, he may very well take his shot.
