Pretty sure nobody is arguing over the 25th amendment or its intent. This is a matter of who was in discussion and the framework to try to reinforce it. This situation was a cart before the horse one.

If I grant you that point, "coup" still wouldn't be the right word. The constitution is supreme above the president. If the constitution is still in effect, with checks and balances, it's not a coup.
