Since the last execution in New Hampshire was a botched hanging in 1939 that took 6 minutes for the guy to die, I kind of doubt the court would allow them to go through with that.
That would be true in both cases. A full grown cat weighs as much as a bald eagle does and can twist enough to put up a fight. Both sides would have a bad day. In that size range the only thing worse for a bald eagle to try and prey on is a full grown fisher which have been known to kill lynx, coyotes, and young deer despite not weighing much more than a cat (though they'll certainly go after the younger ones).

He's not going to wait even 90 days before he starts playing this game again. It'll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot. I don't even give it a week.
It removes a sitting president without a gunshot?
Our vote of no confidence is impeachment. Same problem in regards to the party selecting the party leader in the UK. You actually have to have MPs/senators that actually agree.
As the eyes are too close together to allow depth perception, and the animals do not make use of motion parallax, they have instead evolved a method called image defocus. Of the four photoreceptor layers in the retina, the two closest to the surface contain a UV-sensitive opsin (visual pigment), while the two deepest contain a green-sensitive opsin. The incoming green light is only focused on the deepest layer, while the other one receives defocused or fuzzy images. By measuring the amount of defocus from the fuzzy layer, calculating the distance to the objects in front of them is possible.
To explain this in simpler terms, their lenses focus the light on the deepest part of their retina, which is explicitly fuzzy for the surface part since it's necessarily out of focus due to the distance between layers. Then their little jumping spider brains calculate how far something is based on the difference in fuzziness. Meaning they could theoretically judge that distance and jump on a flying insect with one eye. Eat your heart out depth perception using mammals.
Yeah, in this case mind your business means "keep your nose to the grindstone" because time is flying by. It was when mind your business was a literal phrase and didn't get the connotations of "don't mind mine."
