Correct.  Removal of president or vice-president for reasons of
disability requires an act of Congress.  It's not an impeachment and
it's only a temporary remedy.  In the case of permanent disability of
both the president and vice-president, the Speaker of the House is
appointed executive officer and a new election is called.
