No, it’s the exact opposite.

You can’t nullify the house vote. You could dismiss the charges without weighing in on them.

But it’s far better to weigh in with an acquittal.

Trump will forever be acquitted. And this impeachment will be a stain on Pelosi forever.

That is until the next impeachment hoax by the Democrats.

IMHO the stains will come from:
  1. acquittal
  2. acquittal by a majority rather than simply a 1/3 vote necessary to defeat conviction
  3. bipartisan acquittal
  4. reelection
  5. a Senate Rule requiring at least 55 votes to take up consideration of a House impeachment article (and called “the Pelosi rule”).

My understanding is the House voted for an impeachment trial 3 times and failed 3 times, then simply announced the "inquiry" at a presser. Thus why all subpoenas issued by the House were invalid.

Even if acquittal is 'politically' better, I believe the entire show was nothing more than the tantrum of a drama queen party with no legal standing.

A coup dressed up in drag queen clothing.

Further, I suspect a finding of 'null and void ab initio' could provide a path to finding these drama queens guilty of sedition and treason by way of a coup attempt with the resulting consequence.
