Cevap

Nominated members of Parliament participate in the impeachment process of the President but cannot vote in the presidential election, whereas elected members of State Legislative Assemblies vote in the presidential election but do not participate in impeachment.
Under Article 54, the electoral college for electing the President consists only of elected members of Parliament and elected members of State Legislative Assemblies (plus Legislative Assemblies of Delhi and Puducherry). Nominated MPs do not vote in the election. Conversely, under Article 61, the impeachment procedure takes place exclusively in Parliament and requires a special majority of the total membership of each House, which includes both elected and nominated members of Parliament. State Legislative Assemblies have no role in the impeachment process.
