The Parliament of India is the supreme legislative body of the Republic of India. The Parliament is composed of the President of India and the houses. It is bicameral with two houses: Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha
(House of the People). The President in his role as head of legislature
has full powers to summon and prorogue either house of Parliament or to
dissolve Lok Sabha. The president can exercise these powers only upon
the advice of the Prime Minister and his Union Council of Ministers.
