Question

On receipt of a Constitution Amendment Bill , after passing by each house of Parliament, the President ______________.
A.Shall give his assent
B.May give his assent
C.May not withhold his assent
D.May return the bill for reconsideration

Answer 1

Hint: The President can withhold his assent to provide the bill for modification but he has to follow a different approach when it comes back with no amendment.

Complete Answer: When a bill is passed to amend by the majority of each house the president must assent to it. A bill is considered to be an act after it is passed by both the house of parliament and the president.
A president can even withhold his assent and send the bill back for reconsideration and changes if he doesn't agree with it.
In this case, if the bill comes back again without any amendment the president has no choice but give his assent.
The president is considered to be the head of the supreme legislative body and it has the path to summon the parliament or dissolve the Lok sabha. The president can also use this power while advising the prime minister or the union of council ministers.
The President of India is the head of parliament. The President of India is elected by the elected members of parliament.
Thus, Option A is the correct answer.

Note: A constitutional amendment is a modification of the constitution of a polity, organization or other type of entity. The president is considered to be the head of the supreme legislative body and it has the path to summon the parliament or dissolve the Lok sabha. The president can also use this power while advising the prime minister or the union of council ministers.
