Question

With reference to the President of India, consider the following statements:
1. Vice President administers the Oath to the President
2. President can be impeached for the violation of the Constitution.

Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 only

CJI administers the oath to the President of India. The term "impeachment" is used only for the removal of the President of India under Article 61, for violation of the Constitution. "Violation of the Constitution" is not defined and no President has been impeached. Thus, not much clarity is available about the expression. However the process of impeachment is mentioned in the Constitution of India.
