Exam answer
The normal term of office of the Vice-President is five years from the date on which he enters office. He may resign earlier, or be removed by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha passed by a majority of its members and agreed to by the Lok Sabha; he continues in office until his successor takes over.
Explanation
Five years is the figure. It matches the President’s term, which makes the pair easy to remember. The removal procedure is worth a clause: unlike the President, the Vice-President 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.
