Impeachment proceedings against the President for violation of the Constitution can be initiated in either House of Parliament. This means that both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha have the power to initiate such proceedings. Impeachment is a process through which a high-ranking official, such as the President, can be removed from their position if they are found guilty of serious misconduct or violating the Constitution. It is a significant check on the powers of the President and ensures accountability. However, it is important to note that impeachment proceedings can only be initiated if there are valid reasons and evidence to support the charges against the President. It requires a majority vote in the initiating House of Parliament and a two-thirds majority vote in the second House to convict and remove the President from office.
