A.3. Procedure for impeachment of the President: Article 61
So, you heard me talking about the impeachment process in the above paragraph. So, let’s not be secretive about it and discuss how you can be removed from the post of President through impeachment?
The President of India can be impeached under Article 61, for the violation of the Constitution, on the basis of charges preferred by either House of Parliament.
A resolution with the proposal to prefer such charges must be signed by at least one-fourth of the total members of the house. The resolution also needs to be passed by at least two-thirds majority of the house.
When the resolution is passed by one of the Houses, the other House must investigate the charges. The President has been granted the right to be present or to be represented in such investigations.
When the House investigating the charges passes the resolution by a two-thirds majority and declares the charges as sustaining, it results in removing the President from his office from the date of passing of the resolution.
