I would think that the Senate could complete the process if they have already started, but it would be completely pointless.

I think they could "complete the process" procedurally insofar as passing a motion to dismiss with the proceedings on account of mootness by voice vote, but other than that, there's really no need, politically, constitutionally, or legally speaking, unless the House & at least a Senate majority's (in this instance) sole goal is to trash a dead person lol
