Q75 (CDS-I/2022) Polity & Governance › Union Executive › Presidential election process Answer Verified

According to the Constitution of India, which one of the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

According to Article 53 of the Constitution, the executive power of the Union is vested in the President [3]. Article 53(3)(b) explicitly allows Parliament to confer by law functions on authorities other than the President . Regarding re-election, Article 57 states that a person who holds or has held office as President shall be eligible for re-election to that office [3]. However, statement 3 is incorrect because Article 54 specifies that the electoral college consists only of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States. It does not include 'all' members, as nominated members are excluded from the voting process. This distinction is critical in the constitutional framework governing the Presidential election process.
