Solution
The method of his removal: In case of violation of the Constitution, the Parliament may remove the President through the process of impeachment. The charges for this purpose may be framed by either House of Parliament in the form of a resolution by two-third majority of the total membership of House. A fourteen days notice signed by at least one-fourth of the total number of members has to be given. The other House investigates the charges levelled against the President. If the charges are established by the two-third majority of the total membership of the other House also, the President is impeached and removed from office forthwith.
