This is not about a potential Trump impeachment, more of a general debate. If the House votes to impeach the prez, should his powers be transferred to the VP (as acting prez) under the 25th amendment while the process is ongoing? Until the senate moves forward and either votes to impeach, thus making the VP a full prez, or acquittal? In the latter case, the officeholder regains powers and duties of the presidency.

I think this is a fine idea, preventing a prez from executive action influencing the impeachment process. The VP in acting capacity ensures a smooth ongoing of govt affairs.

Opinions and objections?

Nope. The GOP would have impeached Obama every few months during his administration.

I don't see how Biden as acting prez would have anything different than Obama.
