Apparently the reason why we don't hang anyone in this country anymore is because somebody took a long time to die by hanging. The truth is that there are going to be problems with any execution method. When done right, hanging should be quick and painless. You put the noose around the person's neck with the rope short enough to provide the condemned enough room to dangle above the ground when the platform is opened.
Also, the ideal time between the crime committed and the execution should be about 90 days. It took 89 days between President Lincoln's death and for 4 co-conspirators to be executed by hanging.
Nowadays, the executions are conducted behind closed doors with about 10-15 people attending including a member of the media. Public executions need to come back. Hopefully President Trump uses his next State of the Union to demand public executions.
perhaps you should read up some on early colonial America and how some of our more prominant founding fathers like george washington and thomas jefferson had zero issue with it.
Hanging is not cruel nor unusual if youre guilty of murder or treason

About the members of congress that called for disobeying President Trump's order, Thomas Jefferson would say, "George, great day for a hanging."
Personally, I have no trouble with hanging as long as I am not at the business end of the noose.
