"The legislative process in India's parliamentary system, like elsewhere, is a shared exercise: the executive and the legislature partake in it. Ordinarily, proposals for legislation originate in the cabinet. If the cabinet decides that a law is necessary, a bill is drafted, on occasions, with external inputs. After it is introduced in the two houses, the bill goes through several 'readings', committee hearings and amendments. The final draft is debated and voted on. If a bill secures the requisite majority in both houses, it is sent to the president for assent, upon which the bill becomes an Act. Parliament, in this formal view, is central to the legislative process, and legislation are products of among other things a rational-legal scrutiny and vote. In practice, parliament is less than central; the legislative process rarely confirms to the constitutional ideal type. Take, for example, political parties and their influence on the legislative process. The party to which a government belongs can have a disproportionate say in policy and legislative matters. Indeed, depending on the personalities involved, legislative proposals may even originate and take shape in party headquarters. Or consider a coalition government. A cabinet's decision to introduce a bill may be evidence of compulsion, not necessity. It may be a price for keeping the coalition together or a political maneuvering to secure new allies. Also, consider the influence of non-representative actors and their ability to direct legislative proposals"--

Comparisons between the political systems of the world especially the British and the American has thrown light on what the Indian President is and should be.
Under the Constitution, the President is the head of the Executive and also a constituent part of the Parliament. This represents a real fusion of the highest executive and legislative authorities. The Constitution makes it incumbent upon the President to address both Houses of Parliament assembled together at the commencement of the first session after each general election to Lok Sabha and at the commencement of the first session each year and inform Parliament of the causes of its Parliament. The Presidential address thus, assumes a very important place as a policy statement of the Government. This address is drafted by the Government and contains a review of the activities and achievements of the Government during the previous year. It also touches upon important internal and current international problems. The address also contains a brief account of Government business for the session. The present volume includes the Presidential Addresses to Parliament from 1952 to 1995. It would be found useful by parliamentarians, researchers, scholars and all those interested in constitutional and parliamentary studies.
