Consider the following statements with reference to the ‘Vice President of
India’:
1. He is elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and the state legislatures.
2. The Vice-President can hold office beyond his term of five years until his successor assumes charge.
3. The Constitution has not fixed any emoluments for the Vice-President in that capacity.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1 and 2 only
2 and 3 only
1 and 3 only
1, 2 and 3
Explanation: The Vice-President occupies the second highest office in the country. He is accorded a rank next to the President in the official warrant of precedence. This office is modelled on the lines of the American Vice-President. Statement 1 is not correct: The Vice-President, like the president, is elected not directly by the people but by the method of indirect election. : He is elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of the members of both Houses of Parliament. Thus, this electoral college is different from the electoral college for the election of the President in the following two respects: 1. It consists of both elected and nominated members of the Parliament (in the case of president, only elected members). 2. It does not include the members of the state legislative assemblies (in the case of President, the elected members of the state legislative assemblies are included). Statement 2 is correct: The Vice-President can hold office beyond his term of five years until his successor assumes charge. He is also eligible for re-election to that office. He may be elected for any number of terms. Statement 3 is correct: The Constitution has not fixed any emoluments for the Vice-President in that capacity. He draws his regular salary in his capacity as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha
