Answer:
Article 53 {Executive power of the Union}
The executive power of the Union shall be vested in the President and shall be exercised by him either directly or through officers subordinate to him in accordance with this Constitution.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provision, the supreme command of the Defence Forces of the Union shall be vested in the President and the exercise thereof shall be regulated by law.
Nothing in this article shall-
Be deemed to transfer to the President any functions conferred by any existing law on the Government of any State or other authority; or
Prevent Parliament from conferring by law functions on authorities other than the President.
Article 54 {Election of President}
The President shall be elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of-
The elected members of both Houses of Parliament; and
The elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States.
[Explanation. In this article and in article 55, State includes the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the Union territory of Pondicherry.]
Article 55 {Manner of election of President}
As far as practicable, there shall be uniformity in the scale of representation of the different States at the election of the President.
For the purpose of securing such uniformity among the States inter se as well as parity each state is entitled to cast at such election shall be determined in the following manner; -
Elected member of the Legislative Assembly of a State shall have as many votes as there are multiples of one thousand in the quotient obtained by dividing the population of the State by the total number of the elected members of the Assembly;
if, after taking the said multiples of one thousand, the remainder is not less than five hundred, then the vote of each member referred to in sub-clause (a) shall be further increased by one;
each elected member of either House of Parliament shall have such number of votes as may be obtained by dividing the total number of votes assigned to the members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States under sub-clauses (a) and (b) by the total number of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament, fractions exceeding one-half being counted as one and other fractions being disregarded.
The election of the President shall be held in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and the voting at such election shall be by secret ballot.
