If he isn’t first impeached can he be a party convicted? No.
Right…..
What is it that you think that means? Because it doesn’t mean that no impeachment means no criminal prosecution, if that is what you are going for. The clause simply makes plain that impeachment conviction does not preclude criminal prosecution. It does not make impeachment a prerequisite for criminal prosecution.
It’s right there for you, in very plain English.

Then “convicted” is superfluous because according to your interpretation I can remove it and it means the same thing.
I’m going to assume it’s there to ensure that only parties convicted by impeachment are liable for indictment since that is, you know, what it actually says.
