    Who among the following can be removed from the office without impeachment?

    A) President of India

    B) Chief Justice of India

    C) Governor of a State

    D) Chief Election Commissioner

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The Constitutional position on the removal of the Governor is that a Governor of a state is an appointee of the President, and he or she holds office ?during the pleasure of the President? (Article 155 and 156). The term of governor?s office is normally 5 years but it can be terminated earlier by:   Dismissal by the president (usually on the advice of the Prime Minister). Resignation by the governor there is no provision for impeachment for governor, as it happens for the president under Article 161 for the violation of the constitution.
