What is the role of Parliament in the process of electing a Vice-President?
The Parliament plays a significant role in the process of electing a Vice-President. According to the context, a person is not eligible for election as Vice-President if they hold any office of profit under the Government of India or any State government or local authority subject to the control of these governments. The President can also remove the Vice-President from office through a resolution passed by the Council of States (the Upper House) with a majority of all its members, and agreed upon by the House of the People (the Lower House). A minimum of 14 days' notice must be given for such a resolution to be moved. The Vice-President continues to hold office until their successor assumes office after their term expires.
