Impeachment and removal is nearly impossible, ever. Its a political statement.

The removal was intentionally made very difficult by the founders. I assume they wanted impeachment to be easier as a way of telling everyone "Hey, this dude is a certified asshole!". They made the removal more difficult to eliminate the politics from it as much as possible.
