This clause clearly shows that the impeachment process has nothing to do with criminal immunity
Other than the fact that you are stripped of immunity for the act upon which the executive has been impeached and removed.

No, you are not. The clause says absolutely nothing of the sort.
The only thing it does is make it very clear that impeachment does not have a double jeopardy effect.

Immunity has nothing to do with this discussion.
That's a completely different discussion.
Impeachment is political. The result is possible removal from office.
Criminal prosecutions are criminal. The result is possible incarceration.
The Constitution intentionally separates the 2
Immunity deals with the nature of the behavior alleged to be criminal. A President could be theoretically impeached-removed, and be guilty of a crime, that would be thwarted due to immunity for official acts. Now, what that act would be, to get impeached-removed, I do not know, but that's solely up to the House and Senate (not even the USSC can review their determination).
