UPSC 2013: Consider the following statements: 1. The Chairman and the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha are not the members of that House. 2. While the nominated members of the two Houses of the Parliament have no voting right in the presidential election, they have the right to vote in the election of the Vice President. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
The Vice-President, who is ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, is **not** a member of either House, but the Deputy-Chairman is elected *from among* the sitting members of the Rajya Sabha; hence Statement 1 is wrong. Nominated members of both Houses are excluded from the electoral college for the President, yet they do vote for the Vice-President, so Statement 2 is correct. Therefore only statement 2 is right.
