It's the way presidential republics are structured.
One of the most fatal flaws of presidential republics is simultaneously combining head of state and head of government into a single person and separating the role of head of government from the legislature, and then requiring an elaborate political process to remove a bad president from office. It shouldn't require anything more than a "no confidence" vote from the lower house. I don't think there's ever been a presidential republic which has gone more than a few decades without either an outright constitutional crisis or years of low-grade conflict.
Look at South Korea. They've been a wealthy, functioning democracy for three decades, and one shitbird almost derails the whole thing in one go. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed. This time.
