Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Parliament

The correct answer is Parliament.

• Parliament of India can remove the president from office prior to completing the tenure for impeachment or violating the Constitution of India.

• This process may be started by the two houses of parliament against the charges.
• The Parliament of India is the supreme body of the Legislature of India.
• The Rajya Sabha is the council of the states and Lok Sabha is the house of the people.
• The Indian Parliament has three parts: the President, the Rajya Sabha, and the Lok Sabha.

• Articles 79 to 122 in Part V of the Indian Constitution deal with the organization, compositions, duration, officers, procedures, privileges, powers, and so on of the Parliament.
• The Parliament of India consists of three parts- the President, the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), and the  House of the People ( Lok Sabha).

• Though the President of India is not a member of either House of the Parliament and does not sit in Parliament to attend its meetings, he is an integral part of the Parliament.
