SHORT ANSWER: The two-thirds majority requirement in the impeachment process ensures that a significant consensus is needed to remove a high official, preventing misuse of power. DETAILS: - It requires a supermajority in both Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) for impeachment. - This high threshold protects against arbitrary or politically motivated removals. PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable): - If the impeachment motion fails, the official remains in position, safeguarding against wrongful dismissal. SOURCE: - Constitution of India, Article 61 (Impeachment of the President) and Article 124(4) (Impeachment of Supreme Court judges).
