Answer: 1

Article 352(4): Emergency proclamation must be approved within one month by both Houses with special majority: (a) majority of total membership of each House, AND (b) 2/3 of members present and voting. If Lok Sabha is dissolved, Rajya Sabha approves, but Lok Sabha must approve within 30 days of reconstitution. Prevents executive overreach.
