Is that strictly accurate? Isn't it implied by being mentioned in the 25th amendment?

The Speaker isn't mentioned anywhere in the text of the Constitution - it isn't a constitutional office with constitutionally delegated duties.

The 25th Amendment was passed in 1967 - almost two centuries after the drafting of the constitution.
