Executive

Question

What is the tenure of the Indian President? How he can be removed?

Answer

The President is elected for a period of five years. The President can be removed from office by impeachment only. He can be impeached ‘for violation of the Constitution’. The impeachment charge may be initiated by either House of Parliament. If resolution is passed by a two-third majority of the total membership of the House then resolution is sent to the other House. If the other House also passes the resolution by a two-third majority then the President is removed from his office.
