Explanation:

  1. The President of India does not have the power to appoint or remove the Speaker of Lok Sabha. The Speaker is elected by members of Lok Sabha from among themselves. However, the President may address a communication to the Speaker, and, in so doing, may request the Speaker's attention to any matter connected with the functioning of the Parliament.
  2. The Speaker of Lok Sabha may delegate some of his functions to the Deputy Speaker during his absence or inability to discharge his functions due to illness, but he continues to be responsible for the conduct of business in the House.
