Not only is Bush facing hearings on his possible impechment but his butt buddy in Pakistan is about to face the same fate.

Pakistan’s governing coaltion is set to finalise charges aimed at impeaching Pervez Musharraf, the country’s president.

Provincial lawmakers were also set to begin tabling resolutions on Monday calling on Musharraf to step down or face impeachment.

Musharraf’s spokesman, however, said he will not resign, regardless of the mounting cases against him.

“There is no reason that he should resign. Everything they are saying is false, so why should he resign?” Rashid Qureshi said.

Pakistan’s national assembly, or lower house of parliament, is also due to convene later on Monday, ahead of the filing of the impeachment charges against the former general.

Musharraf seized power in a bloodless coup in 1999, but his rivals swept elections in February to set up a new government.

No president has been impeached in Pakistan’s turbulent 61-year history. The coalition claims it can get the two-thirds majority required in a joint sitting of both houses in parliament to strip Musharraf of the presidency.

Although Musharraf’s allies dispute that and have urged the longtime US ally to fight impeachment, they have advised the president against using his authority to dismiss parliament and the prime minister.

The coalition is trying to give Musharraf time to quit without facing the humiliation of impeachment, while ramping up the pressure with expected “no-confidence” motions in the four provincial assemblies, media reports said.
