Bullets are expensive. A rope can be re-used. March him to a gallows instead.

He should be broken on the wheel.

The rope, if Trump’s epithet of “pencil necked geek” is accurate, would have to be wound around and around, running into some money as the inches added up.

A Go Fund Me could be started in an instant.

What kind of rope?

One Website said: The best rope for hanging purposes is definitely the so-called “Manila rope” not quite an inch thick. Hemp ropes are more prone to breaking and ropes from artificial fiber often have a slippery surface texture which causes knots to come undone.

In the United States, only Washington and New Hampshire still perform hangings. These jurisdictions follow now-defunct U.S. Army regulations for the punishment.

The military rules demand 30 feet of hemp rope that has been boiled, stretched, and dried. The bottom of the rope should be greased or waxed to make sure that the knot of the noose doesn’t get snagged, and the whole system should be tested with a sandbag dummy before the actual hanging takes place.

The trick to a successful hanging is to have the victim drop an appropriate distance through a trapdoor before the rope goes taut against his neck. If he drops too far, he’ll have picked up so much speed that the noose might decapitate him. If he doesn’t drop far enough, he could remain conscious as he slowly strangles to death. But if you get the “drop” just right, the knot of the noose will snap against his neck—and either kill him or knock him unconscious.

The last major innovation in hanging occurred toward the end of the 19th century, when executioners first developed a systematic way to calculate the drop. Once these “drop tables” were published, a hangman knew that he’d need 7 feet for a slight, 120-pound criminal, but only about 4 feet for a 200-pounder.

Rope for “treason” would seem to be deserved. With the proviso that the Framers were very concerned about recent English used of that charge and went out of their way to limit its use. He’d qualify for “treason” charges in essentially every other country, but I’m not quite sure how one earns a legit charge of that under our constitution. There have been very few prosecutions explicitly for it. But certainly under our system conviction and punishment for treason is a judicial, not a legislative responsibility. House can expel him and can also refer him for possible prosecution of treason, but can’t themselves convict and punish him beyond expulsion.
