  • The Vice-President of India is elected for a term of 5 years.
  • The Vice President of India can only be removed from office by a resolution passed by the majority of members in Rajya Sabha and which is agreed by the Lok Sabha.
  • The ex-officio chairman of the Rajya Sabha is the Vice-President.
  • The election of Vice-President is also similar to that of President of India, but the main difference in this election is the members of State Legislatures will not be part of this election.
  • The Vice-President of India will take over the office of President only in the case of impeachment, or resignation, or death of the President. The Vice-President will hold office until a new President of India will be elected.
