    I'm just a little curious since Canada's neighbour could have one soon.

    Yes, I think that's why he asked as India has had experience of this. But as Zerosleep said its the Prime Minister that has the power. Perhaps you should ask the British about their opinion as well. ;)

    The Indian president isnt elected by direct votes either - it's just the ministers who get to vote, so the citizens do not have any direct influence on who gets to have 5 years of free accommodation at the Rashtrapati Bhavan

    Well I agree that President in India doesn't have powers, but a good president makes a different. We have seen it in the case of Mr. Kalam and Mr. Narayanan, both were very good and strong presidents.


    As far as Current president is concerned, Well, she is not so much different from our Prime Minister. ;)

    If you are wondering what I'm talking about then ohh well, They both are puppets....

    There's about as much chance of that happening as a one legged man winning an ass kicking contest.

    India has had the first Lady president this year. "Mrs Pratibha Patil".
    She is deserving, intellect, and most Importantly, she is the PRESIDENT.
    Gender does not matter. Its the ability and the willingness to makes good changes in the society that matters :)
