Other than the fact that you are stripped of immunity
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).

So we are back to "who makes the determination?"
No way the DOJ should be making that determination.
It should be left up to congress. Let the people's representatives decide. Force them to do work and check the executive.
