3.7. Removal of Vice President

He can also be removed from the office before completion of his term. A formal impeachment is not required for his removal. He can be removed by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha passed by an effective majority and agreed to by the Lok Sabha. But, no such resolution can be moved

unless at least 14 days’ advance notice has been given. Notably, no ground has been mentioned in the Constitution for his removal.
