 Real Prez was on his way to be ARRGH nominee again, probably by acclamation, even though he had entered no primaries. His dramatic return to power was portrayed in hushed adoring terms by  his minions in the press, who conjured a tale of a fanciful mid-night operation (organized by his son-in-law) that secreted him out of the private NJ sanatorium, whereupon he simply walked into the White House, reassuming power without a by-your-leave.

It was an illegal act of gall, upending his earlier removal by the 25th Amendment. But the Temp-Prez was hated by everyone, and after the failed (V)ICE invasion of Portland, something had to be done. Real-Prez’s chutzpah had worked, and even the displaced Temp-Prez (who returned rather unconstitutionally to Veep) was praising him by the end of the day. But the dramatic move was all theater – Real-Prez was the power brokers’ only hope, and they preferred Real-Prez’s unpredictable insanity to the charismatically challenged Temp-Prez. 

And since they had as yet not found a new Veep, dumping Temp-Prez would have elevated the Speaker, who was a Dee, and that would be infinitely worse. The coup had all been planned and approved by the power brokers and was accompanied by a great deal of back room maneuvering, the details of which are still mostly secret.
