Answers
Answer:
president is the head of the union government.
The executive power of the Union government lies in the President who exercises it either directly or through officers subordinate to him. He is the supreme commander of the defence forces of the union. Executive actions are formally taken in his name. This power is to be exercised in accordance with the Constitution, which lays down positive qualifications and negative disqualifications for the high post.
The positive requirements are that he should be a citizen of India; should have completed the age of 35 years; and should be qualified for election as a member of House of People (Lok Sabha). Negatively, he should not hold any office of profit; and should not be a member of either house of Parliament or of a house of the legislature of any state.
The President is indirectly elected by an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both houses of Parliament and the elected members of the legislative assemblies of the states. The members of state assemblies have been included in the Electoral College to prevent the President from being elected merely by the vote of the party in power at the centre.
Explanation:
State executive consists of Governor and Council of Ministers with Chief Minister as its head. The Governor of a State is appointed by the President for a term of five years and holds office during his pleasure. Only Indian citizens above 35 years of age are eligible for appointment to this office. Executive power of the State is vested in Governor.
