Electoral College for the 16th Vice Presidential Election of India for 2022 consists of how many members?
Detailed Explanation:
The Vice-President is elected by an Electoral College comprising all members (elected + nominated) of both Houses of Parliament—Rajya Sabha (245 members) and Lok Sabha (543 members).
For the 16th Vice-Presidential Election (2022), the total electoral college strength was 245 + 543 = 788 members. Unlike Presidential elections, nominated MPs vote here.
Therefore, 788 members constituted the electoral college, making Option 1 the correct answer.
The Indian President is eligible for re-election for how many times?
Detailed Explanation:
The Indian Constitution places no limit on the number of times a person can be re-elected as President. Article 57 explicitly allows re-election without restriction.
The President serves a five-year term and can contest elections repeatedly, unlike the U.S. President who is limited to two terms by the 22nd Amendment.
Therefore, the President is eligible for re-election any number of times, making Option 3 the correct answer.
