Answer
Exam answer
The procedure is IMPEACHMENT. The President can be removed only for VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION, by a resolution moved in either House signed by at least one-fourth of its members, with fourteen days’ notice, and passed by a two-thirds majority of the total membership of each House.
Explanation
The word IMPEACHMENT is the mark. Adding the ground and the majorities makes the answer complete. Note the distinction from the Vice-President, who is NOT impeached: he is removed by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha agreed to by the Lok Sabha, and no ground need be stated. Judges are removed by an address to the President — a similar but separate procedure.
