Solution
The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: The impeachment proceedings begin after the resolution for impeachment is introduced with signatures of 1/4th of the total membership of the House.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The only condition for the initiation of impeachment of the Indian president is the ‘violation of the constitution.’ The Indian Constitution contains no definition of ‘violation of the constitution.’
