Indian President

The President of India is the ceremonial head of the country, representing its unity and sovereignty. Elected indirectly by members of Parliament and state legislatures for a five-year term, the President's role is largely symbolic, with real executive power exercised by the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers. The President's duties include signing bills into law, appointing key officials, and performing ceremonial functions. Though their role is mostly honorific, the President acts as a safeguard for the Constitution and the democratic system, ensuring that government actions adhere to constitutional principles.
