Chairman of the Joint State Public Service Commission is appointed and removed by the president unlike the Chairman and members of the SPSC which though can be removed only by the president but are appointed by govenor.
A significant loophole in the RPA 1951: If a candidate fails to lodge the account of election expences as per the requirement of the law EC may disqualify him/her for 3 YEARS. Now this does not serve the purpose as except for an odd bye election that may or may not take place in those 3yrs the candidate will again be eligible for general elections
1) Nominated members of the Rajya Sabha/Lok Sabha do not vote in the presidential elections.

Article 13 declares that all laws that are inconsistent with any of the fundamental rights shall be void. The wide definition of a law includes - permanent laws, temporary laws, legislations and even non-legislative sources of law. However, constitutional amendment is not a law and hence cannot be challeneged on the basis on Article 13. It can however be challenged on the grounds of violating the 'basic structure' of the constitution.
