For OP:
There is a very clear, but implied check on the 25th Amendment: if it's done against the President's will, and Congress doesn't agree with the VP and Cabinet, then after the 3 week period, the President is back in power, and while the President can't fire the VP, the President can fire any Cabinet member at will.
Step A. VP and half of Cabinet invoke 25th.
Step B. President disputes
Step C. House and Senate fail to get 2/3rds majority to remove President permanently.
Step D. President retakes power after the three week period.
Step E. President fires every Cabinet member who signed on to the 25th Amendment use.
This is basically inevitable and every Cabinet member knows this, which is the real check on inappropriate uses of the 25th Amendment.
