Lots of impeachments (Clinton, too, IIRC) but none were ever forced out

It's not an amendment.  It's Article II, Section 4.
 
Don't forget that impeachment is what happens in the House.
It brings charges against a public official.  The trial happens
in the Senate and requires a two-thirds majority to convict.

Have a bit of faith in the American legal and political system,
please.
