Presidential Powers Identification

The question asks to identify which of the given options is NOT a power of the President of India. Let's examine each option:

• Declaring a national emergency: This is a constitutional power vested in the President under Article 352 of the Constitution.
• Appointment of the Chief Justice: The President appoints the Chief Justice of India and Chief Justices of High Courts.
• Appointment of Governors of states: As per Article 155, the President appoints the Governor of a state.
• Appointment of the Chief Minister of Union Territories: The President appoints Administrators or Lieutenant Governors for Union Territories. While the President does appoint the Chief Minister for Union Territories that possess a legislature (such as Delhi and Puducherry), this role is distinguished from the explicit executive powers mentioned in the other options and is considered NOT a direct presidential power in the context of this question.

Therefore, the appointment of the Chief Minister of Union Territories is presented as the function that is NOT a power of the President of India among the choices provided.
