The power of the government to take private property
and convert it into public use. Election of Vice President (Art 66): The Vice-President shall be elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of the members of both Houses of Parliament in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote and the voting at such election shall be by secret ballot.

The impeachment charges can be initiated by either house of parliament. These charges must be signed by 1/4th members of house which framed the charges & a two week notice is given to president. Once impeachment resolution is passed by majority of 2/3rd of total members of that house ,then it is sent to other house which should investigate the framed charges and President has the right to appear at any such investigation. If the other house also uphelds the charges & impeachment resolution is passed by two-third majority of total membership ,President stands impeached on passing of the resolution
