Constitution may be amended for BB
2007-07-29
The government will make amendments to the Constitution and remove the hitch for Benazir Bhutto to become prime minister for a third time, Federal Parliamentary Affairs Minister Dr Sher Afgan Khan Niazi said on Saturday.

He told Geo News via telephone that the Friday talks between President General Pervez Musharraf and Pakistan PeopleÂ’s Party chairwoman Benazir Bhutto were successful. Both leaders openly expressed their reservations before each other, he added.

He said Musharraf and Bhutto also discussed the appointment of a new army chief, as Musharraf might remove his uniform in his next presidential term. Pakistan Muslim League leader Hamid Nasir Chattha might become the next caretaker prime minister, he said.

#1  This is interesting. That is, Perv is also facing term limits, but probably doesn't have enough juice to change the constitution for himself.

However, if the BB faction joined with his to change the constitution, on the *assumption* that BB was going to get a third term, but then she suddenly wasn't able to have a third term by being dead, Perv could get a third term.

And most likely has enough juice to get one, if the constitution permitted.
