## What this means (mechanical reading aid, not legal advice)

- The index files this text under article 67 of the Constitution of India.
- The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER I.—T HE EXECUTIVE — The President and Vice-President”.
- The passage runs to about 130 words.
- **Caveat:** The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“The Vice-President shall hold office for a term of five years from the date on which he enters upon hisoffice:”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.
- **Caveat:** The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.
- **Caveat:** No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

> This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
