Vice President of India

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Serves as the second-highest constitutional authority, elected indirectly by members of both houses of Parliament. The Vice President is the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, presiding over its sessions and deciding procedural issues. In case of the President’s death, resignation, or removal, the Vice President acts as President until a new President is elected. Though the office is often seen as largely ceremonial, the Vice President can influence parliamentary proceedings significantly. The selection process demands no direct involvement of state legislatures, differentiating it from the President’s electoral college. This role ensures continuity in the executive branch and legislative leadership.
