Under the Constitution, the Speaker enjoys a special position insofar as certain matters pertaining to the relations between the two Houses of Parliament are concerned. He certifies Money Bills and decides on money matters by reason of the Lok Sabha’s overriding powers in financial matters.

It is the Speaker of the Lok Sabha who presides over joint sittings called in the event of disagreement between the two Houses on a legislative measure. As regards recognition of parliamentary parties it is the Speaker who lays down the necessary guidelines for such recognition.

d) Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: (a)

Article 65 of the Indian Constitution says that while acting as President or discharging the functions of president, the Vice President does not perform the duties of the office of the chairman of Rajya sabha.

Article 123 of the Constitution grants the President certain law-making powers to promulgate Ordinances when either of the two Houses of Parliament is not in session and hence it is not possible to enact laws in the Parliament.

Question : 6

a) Members of Rajya Sabha only

b) Members of both Houses of Parliament

c) Elected members of Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies

d) Elected members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha

Answer: (d)

The Vice President is elected indirectly, by an electoral college consisting of members of both houses of the Parliament.

The election of the Vice President is slightly different from the election of the President—the members of state legislatures are not part of the electoral college for the Vice Presidential election.

The election is held in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and the voting in such election is by secret ballot.
