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
[including mental incapacitation -- see January 26, 2018 explanation]. 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.

the 25th Amendment Be Trump's Downfall? Here's How It Works
He couldn’t have put it more plainly. On April 13, 1965, in the midst of a
congressional debate over the proposed 25th Amendment to the Constitution
dealing with presidential succession and incapacity, the chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, Representative Emanuel Celler of New York, dispensed with
high-minded legal arguments. They were there, Celler said, to figure out what
might be done if the unthinkable–a deranged American President with nuclear
weapons–became thinkable. “The President may be as nutty as a fruitcake,” Celler
declared on the House floor. “He may be utterly insane.” And for this reason,
America needed a plan.
