The last thing we need is Trump removed from office before the election.
That would leave Pence as President and whoever he picks for a running mate to keep the bullshit going another 4 years.
Letting Trump lose in a landslide, as long as everyone gets their ass out and votes, would be far more satisfying.

I prefer the 25th amendment.

This is the part about "unfit" presidents:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

You know Trumpty wouldn't go quietly, even if Congress somehow agreed he was no longer capable. And the current Congress isn't gonna do it. Let's hope that by January we won't have to think about the possibility anymore.
