In the Indian Parliamentary system, the office of the President is like a
"pivot" that joins the two wheels, namely the legislature and the executive,
although his role is not so "pivotal". As stated earlier, the parliamentary system
belies the doctrine of strict separation of powers. Recall that, it is based on the
fusion of powers wherein the executive is a part of the legislature. The office of the
President is a constitutional conjunction where the legislative and the executive
organs meet. At this, all executive powers are constitutionally vested in him
(Article
53).
On the other hand, the President of India is also an integral component
of the Indian Parliament (Article 79). No bill without the assent of the President can
become a law. The President has the power to summon either House of the
Parliament, prorogue either House, and dissolve the Lower House. In addition to
these, the President has also the power to legislate while the I-louses are not in
session. This will form the basic premise on which the legislature-executive
relations will be discussed.
