What are the discretionary powers of the President?
Share
(i) The President appoints the Prime Minister. When a party or coalition
of parties secures a clear majority in the elections, the President has
to appoint the leader of the majority party or the coalition that enjoys
majority support in the Lok Sabha.
(ii) When no party or coalition gets a majority in the Lok Sabha, the President
exercises his or her discretion. The President appoints a leader who, in
her opinion, can muster majority support in the Lok Sabha. In such a
case, the President can ask the newly appointed Prime Minister to prove
a majority support in the Lok Sabha within a specified time.
