Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2
Pocket Veto - Since no time period is prescribed for the President to act over any bill, he may simply decide not to act on the bill. This is called Pocket Veto. Qualified Veto - Assume that a bill is passed by simple majority and sent to the President and he returns the bill. If this bill is passed by a higher majority by the legislature, the President has no option but to sign the bill. Thus, veto power is qualified by higher majority. Qualified veto is not present to the President of India.
