It doesn't say some. It doesn't say those tried before the Prez is out of office. It says explicitly "ALL".
Otherwise, you get the absurd result that the Senate could delay its trial, whenever the Impeachment occurs, to after the prez is out of office rendering it moot.
Which would be stripping the entire efficacy of the House impeachment. Which is an absurd result.
