Which language creates a requirement that the above "conviction" is required for a criminal trial?
Why would the following clause be needed at all then?

It wouldnt. In fact the only reason it exists is to define what the party convicted by the senate might face. Thats why they use a colon and then start the clause with “but” (because they are explaining what happens once the party is convicted).
Another way to say it would be:
Impeachment can only result in loss of your job BUT once you are impeached you can be prosecuted for your crimes.

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