Answer 1

The correct option is B b) 1,4 only.


Ans: B
The only ground for impeachment of president is violation of the constitution. But, constitution does not define the meaning of the phrase ‘violation of the constitution’.
The president can give his assent, withhold his assent, but cannotreturn the money bill for reconsideration of the parliament. Normally the president gives his assent to the bill as it is introduced in the parliament with his prior permission.
