The Governor of a State holds office during the pleasure of:
- Chief Minister of the State
- President of India
- Prime Minister of India
- State Legislature
Answer: President of India
Article 156 states that the Governor holds office 'during the pleasure of the President'. This means the President can remove the Governor at any time without assigning reasons. However, conventions suggest removal should not be arbitrary. The Governor's term is normally 5 years, but they can resign or be removed earlier.
