Whither Musharraf
2008-05-19 05:58:00 Anwar SyedIT has become customary to assert that in its amended form the constitution invests the president with awesome authority and power in the country?s governance. I have read the constitution in its several versions and found this impression to be incorrect.The president has the power to make certain appointments, some of them in his discretion and others in consultation with the prime minister or, in the case of judges, the chief justice. He can call for reconsideration of decisions the prime minister or the cabinet has made but must accept them as they are reported out after reconsideration. He can dissolve the National Assembly if he finds that the government of the federation cannot be carried on according to the constitution. That pretty much exhausts his authority.It is true that he ruled the country even after the election of 2002, but he did so because of the force he commanded as the army chief. He lost this base of power after he gave up his army post. He had also b...

President Musharraf To Swear In Yousuf Raza Gilani as Prime Minister?
2008-03-24 19:32:00 President Musharraf is supposed to swear In Yousuf Raza Gilani as Prime Minister. Gilani is expected to ask Musharraf to resign or face impeachment. I expect Musharraf has something up his sleave since he certainly will not allow an impeachment. Hopefully, he is working towards a face saving transition of power, rather hoping to lead the next coup. He is a master of duplicity, so I will not predict his course, but I do think he would have resigned unless he saw a more favorable outcome. Favorable only to him. VOA News It came as no surprise that Yousuf Raza Gilani was selected Monday by the Parliament to become Pakistan's 22nd prime minister. He was put forward for prime minister Saturday by the Pakistan Peoples Party, which is the largest in the new parliament. The runner-up in last month's national balloting, the party headed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, also pledged to support Mr. Gilani. Assembly speaker Fahmid Mirza announced Mr. Gilani received 264 votes of the...
