Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 35

The Indian Constitution's Article 58 outlines the requirements for running for president. Among other things, a person who has reached the age of 35 is qualified to run for president.

  • The president may issue executive orders to direct employees in government agencies or to amend and clarify already-enacted legislation.
  • The president has the unrestricted authority to increase pardons and forgiveness for federal offences in addition to impeachment proceedings.
  • The President appoints members of the President's Cabinet to head each of the 15 executive departments, which are in charge of running the federal government on a daily basis.
  • There's more than one law enforcement agency engaged. Its leader reports directly to the president and is not a member of the cabinet.
