4. Indian Vice-President
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under the Twenty-Second Amendment (1951) to the U.S. Constitution, no person may be elected to the office of the President of the United States more than twice (barring a third term). By contrast, Article 6 of the French Constitution (as amended in 2008) prohibits serving more than two consecutive mandates rather than imposing an absolute lifetime ban on a third non-consecutive term, while the Constitution of India places no limit on the number of terms a President (Article 57) or Vice-President may serve.
