<<Shouldn't the president be afforded the same right?>>

If this were actually a private matter, I would agree with you. Unfortunately, Clinton turned it into a public matter, not only by having sex with an employee at the office, and using public money to cover it up, but by using his influence to get her a security clearance she shouldn't have, allowing her to take classified documents from the Pentagon and giving them to her ex-boyfriend in Oregon. By getting involved in this way, and showing such poor judgement, he left himself open for possible blackmail or other forms of coercion. When Kennedy got involved with an East German agent, he reportedly was told by the CIA to back off, which he did, for fear of the same type of compromised security.

Also remember, it was Hillary who wrote for the Rodino commission for the Nixon impeachment that lying to the public was grounds for impeachment (the first article of impeachment for Nixon) and Clinton that said that any President that lied to the American public should resign.
