Answer 2

Answer:

The President of India holds the office of being the supreme commander of the Armed Forces and is the Head of the State. However, when compared to the Prime Minister, the President is merely de jure constitutional head of the country. While both hold executive powers, in practice, the Prime Minister with the help of the Council of Ministers exercises the powers, while the President, takes control only in case of an emergency. The emergencies have been clearly stated in the Constitution of India. In comparison, the President of the United States of America is both the Head of State and the Head of the Government, is responsible for the enforcement and execution of the laws of the Congress, and exercises all the executive powers.
