Q22 (UPPSC/2024) Polity & Governance › Parliament

Which of the following is/are stated in the Constitution of India ?
1. The President shall not be a member of either of the Houses of the Parliament.
2. The Parliament shall consist of the President and both Houses.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :

Explanation

Both statements are explicitly mentioned in the Constitution of India:

  • Statement 1: According to Article 59(1), the President shall not be a member of either House of Parliament or of a House of the Legislature of any State. If a member of either House is elected as President, they are deemed to have vacated their seat in that House on the date they enter upon the office.
  • Statement 2: According to Article 79, the Parliament for the Union consists of the President and two Houses, known respectively as the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha).

While the President is not a member of either House, they are an integral part of the Parliament because no bill can become law without the President's assent.
