What's this?

The 25th does not require specifying what the problem is.

All it says is that the VP and Cabinet inform Congress that "the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office". The reasons are left to the VP and Cabinet to decide. It doesn't have to be Physical or mental health-related.
