The question this prepares you for · CSE 2022 · Q13
Consider the following statements: 1. A bill amending the Constitution requires a prior recommendation of the President of India. 2. When a Constitution Amendment Bill is presented to the President of India, it is obligatory for the President of India to give his/her assent. 3. A Constitution Amendment Bill must be passed by both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha by a special majority and there is no provision for joint sitting. Which of the statements given above are correct?
1 and 2 only2 and 3 only1 and 3 only1, 2 and 3
Why revise these together?
The 2012 deadlock/joint-sitting question is directly load-bearing for statement 3 (no joint sitting for amendment bills), and the 2013 amendment-initiation/ratification question targets the procedure itself. The 2013 Rajya Sabha Chairman/nominated-members question is only topically about RS/President and teaches none of the amendment-procedure specifics, so it is pruned. The two kept supports build the core procedural knowledge, though none addresses the President's obligatory assent (statement 2).
