In the US no matter how pissed people are, they don't call for resignation because that's undemocratic attitude. They wait for the term to end.
Nixon resigned, before he was impeached, so that's not true.
They tried to impeach Clinton, but failed.
Governments resign all the time, because they lose the parlamentary majority.
In the U.K. governments rarely sit the full term. They resign and call for new elections.
Normally this is done when they have a peak in popularity, to win the next,
not when the term is over.
