The Vice-President is not elected by the members of the Rajya Sabha, but is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament and the Legislative Assemblies of the States.<\/p>\n<p>The Vice-President is the second highest constitutional office in India, after the President. The Vice-President acts as the President when the President is unable to discharge his\/her duties due to illness or absence from India. The Vice-President also has the power to nominate 12 members to the Rajya Sabha.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect. The President is the head of state of India and is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament and the Legislative Assemblies of the States.
