“when the hanging actually begins, you don’t have to hang them ALL at the same time”
True.
But a dozen gallows lined up on the Capitol steps would look pretty cool, and intimidating.
So, 600ft of 7/8 inch hemp rope would probably do the job. Even at that it would take all day.
Folks could picnic on the Capitol Mall!
I think 1/2 “ is better

If you go with 3/8” you can get 600ft for under a hundred bucks. And like I said, if it breaks a time or two, and people have to be hung two or three times, the job will eventually get done.
But if it appeases the bleeding hearts I would find the stronger 7/8” rope for around $200 a reasonable compromise. I’m quite pragmatic.
And I’m pretty sure there are plenty of patriots who would pitch in so taxpayers don’t have to fork it over. In fact, if pieces of the rope were sold as memorabilia the process could actually turn a profit.
