Vice President of India AND Attorney General of India

Vice President of India
The Vice-President is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament, in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and the voting in such election is by secret ballot. The Electoral College to elect a person to the office of the Vice-President consists of all members of both Houses of Parliament.
The Vice-President should not be a member of either House of Parliament or of a House of a Legislature of any state. If a member of either House of Parliament or of a House of a Legislature of any state is elected as Vice-President, he is deemed to have vacated his seat in that House on the date he/she enters his office as Vice-President.
A person cannot be elected as Vice-President unless she/he -
1.    is a citizen of India
2.    has completed the age of 35 years
3.    is qualified for election as a member of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha).
4.    he holds any office of profit under the Government of India or a State Government or any subordinate local authority
Removal of Vice President
The Constitution states that the Vice President can be removed by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha passed by an absolute majority (more than 50% of total membership) and agreed to by a simple majority (50% of voting members) of the Lok Sabha (Article 67(a)).
Attorney General of India
The Attorney General of India is the first law officer of the government of India.
Appointment of Attorney General of India {Article 76(1)}
The Article 76(1) states that the Attorney General of India is appointed by the President. In order to be appointed as the Attorney General a person must be qualified to be appointed as a judge of the Supreme Court.
Duties of Attorney General of India
(1) To give advice to the Government of India on legal matters.
(2) To perform other legal duties that are referred or assigned to him by the President.
(3) To discharge functions conferred on him by the Constitution or any other law.
In the performance of his duties the Attorney General of India shall have the right of audience in all the courts in India.
He is also entitled to take part in the proceedings of the Parliament and the Parliamentary Committees without the right to vote.
He represents the Union and the States before the courts but is also allowed to take up private practice provided the other party is not the State.
