Because it takes 67 votes in the Senate.
Yeah?
What did Majority Leader Reid do when faced with a similar obstacle?
Answer: He changed the Senate rule -- because he could do that with a simple 51 vote.
Now, McConnell has the power to call for similar rule changes. Will he? No. He already ceded that authority, just like Boehner ceded the 'power of the purse'.

It takes 67 votes to IMPEACH. That can’t be changed.

You can’t change the rule that it takes 67 votes in the Senate to remove the bastard from office. That is all that could stop him, and you can’t get 67 votes to do it!

The 2/3s threshold to convict and remove an impeached President is in the constitution, not the Senate rules.
