Party convicted

Convicted of what?

Convicted in the impeachment trial by the Senate of whatever act(s) the House chose to impeach them for.

The Judgment Clause does two things (i) limits the punishment in an impeachment trial to removal and disqualification and (ii) expressly exclude the application of double jeopardy in a criminal prosecution for the same act.

That's it. Plain and simple, right there in the text.

If he isn’t first impeached can he be a party convicted?
