t plainly states you can be impeached and then also criminally prosecuted. Impeachment doesn’t insulate you from criminal prosecution.


I’m certainly no lawyer but doesn’t the part about “convicted party” indicate that the criminal indictments needs to be predicated on being found guilty in an impeachment proceeding?

No, it’s speaking of convicted in the Senate and impeached.

You have to be indicted before being convicted in a criminal context. It says the convicted party is still subject to indictment, i.e. the conviction is speaking of impeachment.
