Why would the following clause be needed at all then?

The one clarifying that "conviction" is not one for criminal matters, ie, double jeopardy does not apply?

lWhere does it clarify that? All I see is that it limits the punishments available.

If that clause was meant to address double jeopardy, why would it reference the party convicted instead of the party impeached? Certainly double jeopardy is applicable to the party who would be acquitted too. Yet, it doesn't address that.

Why do you think they referenced the "party convicted". You haven't explained that in a meaningful way yet.
