The President submits his resignation to the Vice-President. |
The correct answer is Option 2 - The President submits his resignation to the Vice-President. The President of India is the head of the state and holds a ceremonial position. If the President wishes to resign from their position, they would typically submit their resignation to the Vice President of India. The Vice President acts as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of Parliament), not the Lok Sabha. The article that deals with the resignation of the President of India is Article 56 of the Constitution of India. According to Article 56(1), the President may resign from his office by writing under his hand addressed to the Vice-President. |
