| Not applicable - Constitutional amendments | N/A | Defence cooperation between India and USA is conducted through executive agreements and international treaties rather than constitutional amendments. The constitutional framework for such cooperation exists under Articles 73 (executive power of the Union) and 253 (legislation for giving effect to international agreements). | The existing constitutional provisions provide adequate framework for defence cooperation without requiring amendments. However, parliamentary oversight through committees and question hours ensures democratic accountability in defence partnerships. |
