The Presidents of India and USA differ not just in the manner in which they are elected but also with respect to their powers. Elucidate.

India allows a parliamentary while US allows a presidential form of government, laying the 'head of the state' as de jure and de jure executive. Manner of election: India: - indirect election via electoral college - state and union legislator partial - party-scalar system - MLAs elected + MPs elected USA: - direct election via people and college this created - entire country parecals - two party system - electoral college awakened via provision of voters from across states These are the differences in manner of election. Powers of President: [Boxed section] Powers of President 1. Indian President is like the US President but also nothing like the 'him' - ER Ambedkar. 2. De facto + de jure creative US vs De jure executive India. 3. Indian President is part of Union Legislature, US President is not. US follows 'complete separation' of powers. 4. US President holds 'creative power' while in India, President has no discretionary function on aid, advice of Council of Ministers (Art 9-5). 5. US President appoints own cabinet, Indian President has no cabinet of own. Thus, the institutional power structure and dispersal for the Presidency of the two countries differs magnanimously.
