Section 4
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.


That would be Vice President Vance and a majority of the Cabinet officers. No amount of persuading coming from the people would persuade Vance and any of Trump's appointed stooges to do it. Of course Vance probably would love to become president, but the Cabinet officers, including the "acting" ones, all inhabit Trump's colon.
