What is the procedure for impeachment of a President

The President can be removed from office by a process of

impeachment for ‘violation of the Constitution’. However, the

Constitution does not define the meaning of the phrase ‘violation of

the Constitution’.

The impeachment charges can be initiated by either House of

Parliament. These charges should be signed by one-fourth members

of the House (that framed the charges), and a 14 days’ notice should

be given to the President. After the impeachment resolution is passed

by a majority of two-thirds of the total membership of that House, it is

sent to the other House, which should investigate the charges. The

President has the right to appear and to be represented at such

investigation. If the other House also sustains the charges and passes

the impeachment resolution by a majority of two-thirds of the total

membership, then the President stands removed from his office from

the date on which the resolution is so passed.

Thus, an impeachment is a quasi-judicial procedure in the

Parliament. In this context, two things should be noted: (a) the

nominated members of either House of Parliament can participate in

the impeachment of the President though they do not participate in his

election; (b) the elected members of the legislative assemblies of

states and the Union Territories of Delhi and Puducherry do not

participate in the impeachment of the President though they.
