How president works

A president is the head of a country or state, chosen by the people. In democracies like India and the USA, presidents have real power and responsibility.

• President = elected leader

The president takes an oath to protect the constitution and serve the nation. A president's main jobs are making laws, commanding the military, and appointing judges.

• Oath: defend constitution

But the president cannot do everything alone—Congress or Parliament must approve big decisions. This is called checks and balances: each branch of government limits the others' power. For example, the president proposes laws, but Parliament votes to pass them.

• Needs Parliament approval
• President proposes, Parliament votes

The president serves a fixed term, usually four to five years, then must be re-elected. In India, the President is elected by Parliament members, not directly by voters like in America. A president can be removed by impeachment if they break the law or abuse power.

• One term = 4-5 years
• India: elected by Parliament
• Can be impeached for crimes

A president leads the nation but must share power and follow the constitution.

• Power shared, constitution rules
