In the West Wing (I know, fiction), Bartlett was removed from president by the 25th after his daughter was kidnapped, and they concluded that he could not do the job objectively. That was when John Goodman took over (there was no VP). Then again, Bartlett agreed to it.
But he wasn't unconscious. He was just incapable of doing the job.
Exactly, but in that situation, Bartlett himself declared he was unable to discharge his duties.
As for Trump, he has never been able to discharge his duties as President.
