Pakistan's leaders dread US Democrats win but its households are praying for it

[Master Chief]

And it is a common curse in many Pakistani PDF members who think past failures are absolutely going to be repeated in future. Their political biases have blinded them. You can see their posts in every thread.

It's as if certain folk WANT failure for Pakistan. Understandable if they were Indian or Afghan, but they are not!

Money flows through Congress. Congress can shut down weapon sale.

Possibly. Though no one in Congress opposed FMS to Pakistan to upgrade its PAF F-16s. But if the US were paying for the upgrade, Congress would oppose it. In January, Congress will take a closer look at the cryptocurrency deal, the mining deal, and assorted deals that look shady on the surface.

There is not much support for anti-democratic forces in Pakistan among either the American people or the American deep state except for a few personal beneficiaries in Trump's orbit. So, there is no political capital that will be spent in passing a Bill that enjoys wide bipartisan support.

Also, you seem to be woefully ignorant of the law. The founding fathers intended Congress to be the primary branch of the government. That is why Congress' powers are listed in Article I and the President's in Article II. Once a Bill becomes an Act, it is the law of the land that the President is bound by. His consent only matters before the Bill become an Act. He has a veto power, but Congress can override it with a two-thirds majority, which a legislation with bipartisan support can easily garner.

After that, trying to undermine the will of Congress is the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors ".

You must not have read or understood the history of the US-Pakistan relationship. Supporting democratic positions wasn't one of them, especially during the Cold War.

Do you seriously think listing the Congress first meant they thought it was the most important branch? Are you a serious person? All three branches are important and help balance the government's powers.

You talk like Congress can do whatever it wants, which kind of undermines all your palaver about the Constitution. You seem to be trying really hard to get Imran Khan released that you are making up unrealstic scenarios how he can be released.

It's not just IK, he wants separatists and terrorists to be legitimized in the name of democracy.

Because the most affected country by terrorism on earth can't have enough democracy and freedom, they must let mass murdering narco terrorists call the shots.
