Article 58 empowers the President to:

A. Dissolve Senate
B. Dissolve National Assembly
C. Remove Prime Minister directly
D. Suspend Constitution
Correct Answer: B. Dissolve National Assembly

Article 58 of the Constitution of Pakistan empowers the President to dissolve the National Assembly. This power is a significant aspect of the parliamentary system, often exercised under specific constitutional conditions or on the advice of the Prime Minister.

  • Option A is false because the President does not have the power to dissolve the Senate; the Senate is a continuous body and cannot be dissolved.

  • Option C is false because while the President appoints the Prime Minister, direct removal of the Prime Minister is not a power granted under Article 58 in the manner implied; the Prime Minister can be removed through a vote of no-confidence or other constitutional means.

  • Option D is false because suspending the Constitution is an extraordinary measure, typically associated with a state of emergency or martial law, and is not a power granted to the President under Article 58.
