| | Presidential system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Presidential system presidents may also be given a great deal of constitutional authority in the exercise of the office of Commander in Chief, a constitutional title given to most presidents. | | | Though a president in a presidential system does not have to choose a government answerable to the legislature, the legislature may have the right to scrutinise his or her appointments to high governmental office, with the right, on some occasions, to block an appointment. | | | Presidential governments make no distinction between the positions of Head of state and Head of government, both of which are held by the president. |

| | Semi-presidential system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It differs from the parliamentary system in that it has a popularly elected president who is not a ceremonial figurehead and it differs from the presidential system in that it has an executive prime minister who has some responsibility to the legislature. | | | Semi-presidential systems are sometimes typified by periods of cohabitation, in which the prime minister and president are elected separately, and often from rival parties. | | | In this case, the division of power between the prime minister and the president is not explicitly stated in the constitution, but has evolved as a political convention. |

| | Democracy Paper |
| | Presidential systems are based on the premise of Lord Acton "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Each house is supposed to act as a check on another and the House and Senate act as a sober second thought, with respect to policy formation and legislation. | | | The American voting system is not federal but run state to state. | | | The leader in a presidential system has less power to influence the Supreme Court then a parliamentary leader. |

| | The Presidential Election Campaign Fund and Tax Checkoff |
| | The current presidential system is essentially as was established in the 1971 and 1974 statutes. | | | The present system of public funding has evolved since first being proposed by Representative William Bourke Cockran in 1904 and, notably, President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907, as a means of curbing corruption by reducing (if not eliminating) the role of private money in elections. | | | Three repeal attempts were made in the 102nd Congress: an amendment by Senator Mitch McConnell was rejected by a 38-60 vote; a motion by Representative Joseph McDade to end the system failed the House in a 180-232 vote; and an amendment by Senator Phil Gramm to repeal the system was tabled by a 62-31 vote. |

| | NOTES for October 26 (Elections)& November 2(Parties) |
| | Because of the concentration of power in a dominant cabinet, British system of government is called as "elective dictatorship" (Lord Hailsham, the former cabinet minister). | | | Even when the president's party has a majority of the seats in the legislature, the president will usually not be able to control want happens in the legislature as closely as most cabinets can control their parliaments in parliamentary systems. | | | Because cabinet is composed of the leaders of a majority party in the House of Commons, it is normally backed by the majority in the House of Commons, and it can confidently count on staying in office and getting its legislative proposals approved. |

| | Moreover, according to protagonists of the Presidential system, the President despite enormous powers has to be dependent on running the country on a cabinet comprising elected members of the Parliament, notwithstanding their extent of competence and incompetence. | | | And powers that be in Pakistan need to be warned, that if they get rid of 1973 Constitution and introduce Presidential system, they would be opening a Pandora's box as had been done by Ayub Khan that ultimately led to the disintegration of Pakistan. | | | The 1973 Constitution has served as a symbol of Quaid's democratic and Federal Pakistan and has so far proved to be more powerful than religion in keeping the country together. |

| | In other words, the presidential system as envisaged by its protagonists is meant to ensure the continuation of the same oligarchy which has administered Pakistan in periods of martial law and under presidential rule. | | | One, therefore, wonders what prompted Kunwar Idris, a retired federal secretary, to recommend the presidential system (Dawn, April 27) calling it a remedy for all our political ills, even predicting its adoption as “inevitable”, while conceding that the construction of a new political order may be hazardous. | | | The country has had only seven years of the “presidential” rule of Ayub Khan under the 1962 constitution, with a restricted electoral college. |

| | Traditional parliamentary systems differ by whether all or some of the cabinet members are chosen from that legislature or from outside it, and by whether there is another superintending (not necessarily elected) body to which its decisions are passed (eg the House of Lords in the United Kingdom) or the Senate in the United States. | | | The cabinet of that president is chosen from outside of the Legislature. | | | In a traditional Presidential system, the Executive is elected separately from the legislature, with a single person – the President – as the embodiment of the Executive branch. |

| | Aydid opposed to presidential system |
| | NAIROBI, 22 Jan 2003 (IRIN) - Mogadishu-based faction leader Husayn Aydid has called on the Somali delegates meeting in the Kenyan town of Eldoret not to set up a presidential system of government. | | | In 1991, Ali Mahdi Muhammad was elected as president during peace talks in Djibouti, while the TNG was established in 2000 with Abdiqassim Salad Hassan as its president at the Arta conference in Djibouti, but neither succeeded in restoring peace "because of the question of legitimacy", Aydid pointed out. | | | Aydid, who is the current chairman of the Somali Reconciliation and Restoration Council (SRRC) - a grouping of southern factions opposed to the Transitional National Government (TNG) - said there was so much mistrust between the various Somali groups that "it would be next to impossible to settle on one individual" as president. |
