The Founding Fathers were brilliant.
They understood the dangers of politics and impeachment and conviction of a President as a first step for criminal prosecution lessened the chances the country would devolve into backwoods Banana Republic like we see today where unelected partisan Secretaries of State push former Presidents off the ballot for any made up reason they can think.

This is an ENTIRELY different argument, legally.

Agreed.
Which is why impeachment and criminal conviction have absolutely no bearing on each other. It’s in the plain text.
Arguing that legislative impeachment and removal is a prerequisite to criminal prosecution is almost as bad as the related double jeopardy argument.
No chance the federal courts buy either one.
