What I meant was there would be sufficient reason for Congress to pursue dismissal, things that usually end with resignations due to immense political pressure. Pressure that is higher towards cabinet members than towards the president. I might understand why this is so, I guess Belsnickel explained it quite well - but I still think it's odd.
I guess it's because you're thinking of a parliamentary system where the PM would be responsible to the legislature more directly. The presidential system lacks that direct accountability.
