SHORT ANSWER:
The impeachment process for the President of India is detailed in the Constitution, while the process for a state governor is similar but governed by state laws.
DETAILS:
- The President can be impeached for violation of the Constitution by a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament.
- The process involves a notice of impeachment, investigation, and voting in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
- For a state governor, the impeachment process is not explicitly defined in the Constitution and is typically governed by state laws, which may follow a similar procedure.
PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable):
- If impeached, the President is removed from office; the same applies to a governor under state laws.
SOURCE:
- Constitution of India, Article 61 (President), Article 153 (Governor)
