Solution

The correct option is B Election of President

Article 54 of the constitution says that the President shall be elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of -

  1. The elected members of both Houses of Parliament and
  2. The elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States (including National Capital Territory of Delhi and the Union Territory of Pondicherry vide the Constitution 70th amendment Act, 1992).

The two Houses of the Parliament enjoy co­equal powers because either House can frame charges and impeach the President for violation of the Constitution. An Ordinary Bill can originate in either House of the Parliament and must be passed by both the Houses of Parliament. Both the House has equal rights of asking questions or bringing in various kinds of motions against the Government.
