Also, can the 25th amendment be used on the Speaker???


No. The 25th only references processes for temporary suspension of the POTUS's powers and the institution of the VPOTUS as Acting President. (Sections 3 and 4 at least. Sections 1 and 2 handle what happens when there is a vacancy for POTUS or VPOTUS due to death, resignation, removal, etc.)

The Speaker can be removed by whatever processes a majority of votes in the House decide. Technically speaker, the Speaker does not even have to be a member of Congress.
