The reason its so hard to impeach a president is because it takes the senate, the house and the chief justice to do it. There must be a majority vote in the House and a 2/3 vote in the senate with the Chief Justice presiding.

In the case of Clinton it was hard for the senate to try him under the Constitutional wording of, "Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
