What is the only ground for the 'impeachment' of the President of India?

Violation of the Constitution

The correct answer is Option 2- Violation of the Constitution

The only ground for the impeachment of the President of India is the violation of the Constitution.

Indian Constitution adopted the parliamentary system of executive for the governments both at the national and State levels. According to this system, there is a President who is the formal Head of the state of India and the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers, which run the government at the national level. At the State level, the executive comprises the Governor and the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers. The Constitution of India vests the executive power of the Union formally in the President. In reality, the President exercises these powers through the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister. The President is elected for a period of five years. But there is no direct election by the people for the office of President. The President is elected indirectly. This means that the president is elected not by the ordinary citizens but by the elected MLAs and MPs. This election takes place in accordance with the principle of proportional representation with single transferable vote. The President can be removed from office only by Parliament by following the procedure for impeachment. This procedure requires a special majority. The only ground for impeachment is a violation of the Constitution.
