Powers of the President of India & Parliament Amendment Bills 2024

The President of India holds significant constitutional powers, primarily related to the legislative process. While the President doesn't possess the power to initiate legislation independently, their role is crucial in the enactment of laws passed by Parliament. Key powers include:

  • Assent to Bills: The President must give assent to a bill passed by both houses of Parliament before it becomes law. They can withhold assent (though this is rare) or return a bill for reconsideration.
  • Promulgation of Ordinances: In exceptional circumstances, the President can promulgate ordinances, which have the same force of law as an Act of Parliament but must be approved by Parliament within six weeks of the next session.
  • Summoning and Prorogation of Parliament: The President summons and prorogues Parliament sessions.
  • Addressing Parliament: The President addresses both houses of Parliament at the commencement of each session.
