Why is the President of India described as a nominal or constitutional head?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The Constitution vests the executive power of the Union in the President, but requires that it be exercised on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister. The real decisions are therefore taken by the ministers, who are answerable to the Lok Sabha, and the President acts on them.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The Prime Minister is accordingly called the real executive head.
