What is the exact majority required in each House of Parliament to pass a resolution for the removal of the President of India through impeachment under Article 61?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 61 specifies that an impeachment resolution against the President must be passed by each House of Parliament by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the total membership of that house. This is a very stringent requirement compared to a normal special majority which requires two-thirds of members present and voting. Nominated members of both houses can participate in the impeachment of the President, whereas they do not participate in their election.
