I am surprised you do not know that … President if head of state (in theory) and all laws or bills passed by Parliament and Senate, becomes law or bill, only when President approves and signs that … similarly, in provinces, Governor is the highest office. For instance, in Sindh, parliament passed the law against NAB, but it is still law because Governor refused to sign it.
Anyhow, President or Governors, they are head of state (or head of Provinces) and hold highest post in country (or province for governors), but in practice posts are ceremonial post, just like Queen Elizabeth in UK is head of state, but ceremonial post.
NS did not put him in office … he supported his election as President thus PMLN along with few other parties voted him into office of President … it is just like PMLN and some other parties voted NS into Prime Minister office. He can only lose his office if parliament impeach him, that is, combined members of Senate and Parliament ask him to step down and vote against him … just like PM can be voted out of office by NA (through vote of no-confidence) … difference is that, PM can be voted out by NA .. but for President, he can be voted out from combined members of NA, PAs (all 4 assemblies of Pakistan) and Senate. So, in practice, to vote a president out of his office is more difficult than Prime Minister.
As for your statement that NS is paying him salary … that is preposterous. Both President and PM are getting salary from Pakistanis (Pakistan state) … or it is tax payer who are paying them salary to work for them … in other words, both President and PM are servants of the public.
Offcourse i do know about him putting signature, but i do mean that he is just some1 for NS who is for ceremony and for salary. He is there to just keep his mouth. NS did play his cards and President had far more powers but the powers were handed out during Zardari regime.
