WHo is in charge? DoD? Mayor of DC? Is Pence invoking 35th the only one who can stop Trump?

ULtimately who is in charge when the president goes rogue and the VP and cabinet is unwilling to invoke 25th? We have no precedent for this.
Anyone know chain of command when chain of command is broken?

I don't know of any provision for Trump to be arrested. Isn't the 25th the only way to remove him?
