Which of the following statements about President's executive powers is CORRECT?

  1. President can appoint Governors without any consultation
  2. All executive actions of Government of India are expressed to be taken in President's name
  3. President can remove Supreme Court judges on advice of PM
  4. President can declare war without Parliamentary approval

Answer: All executive actions of Government of India are expressed to be taken in President's name

Article 77(1): All executive actions of Union government are expressed to be taken in President's name. However, Article 74(1) mandates these actions be based on Cabinet advice. President cannot appoint Governors arbitrarily (consultation with State CM is convention), cannot remove SC judges (requires Parliamentary impeachment), and war declaration needs Parliamentary support for funding and legitimacy.
