And say they voted to acquit because Trump is no longer in office making it unconstitutional to convict.

And they will get away with it, never mind that the Senate voted 56-44 that is was constitutional. They were required to vote based on the merits of the presentations when they lost that vote. The Senators cannot apply their own standards and vote based on that. In a criminal trial that is called jury nullification.
