Duh, if the senators vote to acquit he is acquitted, just like Bill Clinton was.

A more interesting question is, if the GOP takes the House back in November, can they "expunge" the Trump impeachment?
Expungement? GOP Leader McCarthy Just Tossed a Stink Bomb into the Dems' Impeachment Party
So I got you in a corner and you change your defense. You are learning from the Rump Defense Team I see. The word used was "Exonerated". And Rump cannot be exonerated by the Senate. The Senate can elect to acquit but not exonerate. Rump has been impeached. Get over it.
As for taking back the house, good luck with that one. How'd that work out in 2018?
1. The word you used was "ACQUITTAL" here it is from your post: "But Rump has been impeached and there is no acquittal."
2. "Innocent until proven guilty" means innocent. There is no "exonerated" in law.
3. Trump will have the impeachment "expunged" after the House goes back to the GOP in November
4. 2018 was a normal mid-term election, hopefully 2020 will be as well with the incumbent winning in a landslide, including the 31 districts he won in 2016.
Poor choice of word on my part. And there will be no expunge happen. Rump will be forever known as the 3rd President to be Impeached. Stop with your fantasy and get on with reality.
NP.
I'm only repeating what the House GOP leader said about "expunging" the impeachment:

McCarthy says a lot of things. Not much is truthful lately. There is a huge amount of dishonesty in Washington on all sides right now. So We, the voter, need to take things back from them once again. And anyone that wishes to play that kind of game needs to find employment as a bagger at a local Grocery Store.
Here are policies that some of the democrat candidates have supported. Not saying that they all support every one, but these are horrible policies. Let me know if there are any you support. We the voters prefer Trump's policies:
1. Open borders, tear down the southern border fence/wall
2. Sanctuary cities & states
3. Free college
4. "Medicare for all", aka rationed healthcare, "Lois Lerner" in charge of your access to healthcare
5. Eliminate ICE and DHS, turn the US into the EU, with muslim "no go zones" and Sharia Law
6. Promote Globalism, whatever Wall Street wants Wall Street gets, see K-Street Cash
7. Paris Climate Change Treaty where the US pays $trillions to poor countries
8. Stupid trade agreements, e.g tax breaks to move factories overseas
9. Let China run roughshod over the US for trade and intellectual property theft
10. Let NK develop nukes and ICBM delivery systems, have no one capable of dealing with NK
11. Raise taxes to 70% on the wealthy, especially on corporations so they relocate overseas
12. Decriminalize all drug use and possession, Opioid deaths increase across the US
13. Gangs like MS-13 running rampant across the US
14. No steel or mining industries due to foreign "dumping" of subsidized products
15. No new pipelines
16. No offshore drilling
17. The dems' "Central Committee" appoints super-delegates to subvert real voters in primaries
18. Pack the US Supreme Court to promote liberal policies
19. Impeach anyone they deem not liberal enough, like Kavanaugh
20. Use the Federal Government to punish conservatives, like the IRS and Lois Lerner hounded conservatives
21. Use the Intel community to spy on the opposition party, like Hillary, FusionGPS, and the FBI/DOJ spied on Trump
22. Block voter ID laws to ensure fraud, and promote "vote harvesting" to steal elections
23. Refuse to provide funding for border walls/security, which DHS says is desperately needed.
24. Give $Trillions to Mexico and Central America for a Marshal Plan, but not help US citizens living in tent cities
25. Impose gun control, outlaw private gun sales, outlaw AR style rifles, restrict sales of bullets, etc.
26. "Green New Deal" Impose a "carbon tax" to punish anyone who works, heats their home, flies, or has a car
27. Anti-business democrat socialists caused Amazon to flee NYC taking 25,000 good paying jobs to VA
28. REPARATIONS to blacks to pay for slavery, $trillions owed by US voters
29. Excuse the murder of unwanted newborns, i.e. "infanticide"
30. Change the Electoral College to popular vote
31. All prisoners get to vote, even the Boston Marathon Bomber, so says Bernie
32. LGBTQ rights, trannys in military
33. Increase domestic surveillance, especially on "white supremacist" organizations
34. Add Senators and congressmen for DC and Puerto Rico
35. Be sure that any "red flag" laws exclude gang members (only get those rural guns)
36. Full welfare and free healthcare for illegal immigrants
37. Eliminate Hallmark channel for being racist, sexist and anti-LGBTQ
38. Eliminate the "cash bail system" whereby all criminals walk out after committing a crime.
