The president leads the Indian parliament or legislature. The term of the Rajya Sabha lasts 6 years, while the term of the Lok Sabha is 5 years, of which a third of its representatives retire every two years, and many of them are replaced by newly elected members. It is possible to dissolve the Lok Sabha. The Indian parliament, or legislature, is divided into two chambers, the upper and lower chambers or bicameral called the Rajya Sabha and actually the Lok Sabha, respectively. The lower assembly is also known as the Lok Sabha, and the upper house is known as the Rajya Sabha.

Representatives are chosen by the Indian people or appointed by the Indian President in the Parliament of India.
