Hello everyone...
According to Article 59:
(i) The President shall not be a member of either House of Parliament, of a House of the Legislature of any State, and if a member of either House of Parliament or of a House of Legislature of any State and elected as President, he shall be deemed to have vacated his seat in that House on the date of which he enters upon his office as President, (ii) the President shall not hold any other office of profit.
Term of Office:
The President is elected for a term of five years from the date on which he enters his office and is eligible for re-election (Articles 56-57). But his term office years maybe cut short if he (i) resigns (by writing addressed to the Vice-President), or (ii) is removed on charges of violation of the Constitution by the process of impeachment as laid down in the Constitution.
Election Qualifications:
In order to be qualified for election as President, a person must (i) be a citizen of India; (ii) have completed the age of thirty-five years; (iii) be qualified for election as member of the Lok Sabha and (iv) must not hold any office of profit under the government of India or the Government of any State or under any local or other authority subject to the control of any of the said Government (Article 58).
But a sitting President or Vice-President of the Union or the Governor of any State of a Minister either for the Union or for any State is not disqualified for election as President (Article 58).
Hope this helps you...
