confidence motion (3) Jumbo ministry
Answers
Answer:
Answer 1: Impeachment procedure – The responsibility of protecting the Constitution is shouldered by the President. But if any act of the President violates the Constitution, then the Parliament has the authority to remove the President. This process is known as a process of Impeachment. Anyone House can lay the charge of violation of the Constitution and the investigation of the charge is carried out by the other House. The resolution has to be passed by special (2/3rd) majority of both the Houses of Parliament.
Answer 2: No-confidence motion – This is one of the most effective ways to keep a check on the Council of Ministers. The government stays in power till it enjoys the support of the majority in the Lok Sabha. If the members of Parliament withdraw the support, it may lead to loss of majority and the government cannot stay in power. The members of the House can move a no-confidence motion by simply expressing ‘we do not have confidence in the government’. If the motion is passed with majority support, then the Council of Ministers has to resign.
Answer 3: Jumbo ministry – This refers to huge Council of Ministers. There was a trend to keep large Council of Ministers in our country. Later, a constitutional amendment was made to limit the size of the Council of Ministers. As per this amendment, the number of ministers in the council should not be more than 15% of the total number of members in the Lok Sabha.
