  • Zero hour discussion,
  • Calling attention motions,

  3. The process may start in either of the two houses of the Parliament.

Answer: (d)

It is then sent to the other house. The other house investigates the charges that have been made. During this process, the President has the right to defend himself through authorised counsel.

If the second house also approves the charges made by the special majority again, the President stands impeached and is deemed to have vacated his/her office from the date when such a resolution stands passed. Other than impeachment, no other penalty can be given to the President for the violation of the Constitution.

No president has faced impeachment proceedings so the above provisions have never been used.
