why do we need president
Answers
The president as many misundertand it is a very important position in India
The importance of our president can be understood in the following lines
1. The president is the Head of the Indian state furthermore he is not allied to any party so any advice he gives is from neutral stance .
2. The presidents advice although has no legal binding still it is given great importance since it is from the Head of the nation.
3. All bills initiated in the parliament must finally get his assent to become a law . The president may send it for reconsideration if he does not seen it fit or even delay it by pocketing.
4. Even though he will have to give his assent the second time the bill is sent to him even in the unchanged form however that is rarely the case as presidents advice is given due weightage.
5. He has the power to grant mercy on a mercy petition filed by a criminal to the extent that he can reduce a death penalty to that of life imprisonment and is not answerable to any one for that.
