| | 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. |

| | Head of State - |
| | In presidential systems such as that of the United States, appointments are nominated by the president's sole discretion, and this nomination is often subject to parliamentary confirmation (in the case of the U.S., the U.S. Senate has to approve cabinet nominees and judicial appointments by simple majority). | | | It is notable that some presidential systems, while not providing for collective executive answerability to the legislature, may require legislative approval for individuals prior to their assumption of cabinet office and empower the legislature to remove a president from office (for example, in the United States). | | | Presidential Systems of Governments are a notable feature of constitutions in the Americas, notably the United States. |

| | In states with what is called a Presidential system of government, the President is also the head of government, as well as the head of state. | | | While the Swiss system has a President of the Confederation, the headship of state is actually collectively vested in the seven-member Swiss Federal Council. | | | Other states have what is called a Parliamentary system of government, in which the President is only head of state, and the Prime Minister is the head of government. |

| | Prime Minister - Unipedia |
| | This contrasts with the presidential system, in which the President (or equivalent) is both the head of state and the head of the government. | | | In some presidential or semi-presidential systems such as those of France, Russia, South Korea, or Taiwan the prime minister is an official generally appointed by the President but approved by the legislature and responsible for carrying out the directives of the President and managing the civil service. | | | In these systems, it is possible for the president and the prime minister to be from different political parties if the legislature is controlled by a party different from that of the president. |

| | In this system, there is a ‘duel executive’ in which a separately elected president works in conjunction with a prime minister and cabinet drawn from and responsible to the National Assembly. | | | This usually occurs when the party system is fractured, and it is often associated with highly proportional electoral systems. | | | For instance, Congress has the right to declare war and raise taxes, the Senate must ratify treaties and confirm presidential appointments, and the to houses can combine to charge and impeach the president. |

| | CEELI - The Albanian Constitution |
| | In a presidential system, the president is not just the head of state who represents the people and national unity but also the supreme governor. | | | Whether the executive power is located with a president or, preferably, a chancellor or prime minister is not a matter of principle but ultimately a practical question. | | | That is why a new constitution has to address more vigorously the problem of supreme public authority and make a decision where to locate and how to control the sovereign power. |

| | "Reforming the political system," explains Amr Hamzawy, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, "is not about enlarging the scope of power sharing or the relationship between the president and the cabinet but about creating a balance between the three authorities, the legislative, executive and judicial. | | | What is being proposed is enhancing the role of the cabinet and prime minister, though the office of president will continue to constitute the heart of the system". | | | Egypt, they argue, is shifting away from a semi- presidential political system and towards a parliamentary one. |

| | For those countries which adopt a "Semi-Presidential" type of political system (such as the Fifth French Republic, Finland) or a political system under which the posts of President and Premier are occupied by different political groups (such as Serbia and Montenegro), the political parties of both the Presidents and the Premiers are listed. | | | Under the "Parliamentary Cabinet System" (of which Germany and Britain are typical examples), this refers to the Prime Minister, Premier or Chancellor. | | | For those countries with a constitutional monarchical system, although the supreme power is still vested in the Monarch rather than the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is an important figure in the political system. |

| | DAWN - Letters; 17 July, 2004 |
| | Moreover, the semi-presidential system can suffer from 'hyper-presidentialism' in which the president comes to dominate constitutional and political domains. | | | Mr Shahid Javed Burki ("Evolving a new system", July 13) has made a case for restructuring the institutions of governance in Pakistan by introducing a semi-presidential system. | | | If, for instance, the president and the prime minister come from ideologically opposed parties, then the probability of the entire executive and legislative process grinding to a dead halt increases substantially. |

| | In addition, the new law made it more difficult for the Knesset to bring down the government. | | | Looking to the U.S., the Knesset adopted a semi-presidential system, and in the 1996 elections, the Prime Minister was chosen by direct popular vote. | | | In a parliamentary system, such as exists in most Western European states, a simple majority vote can force a Prime Minister to resign, either to be replaced by a new leader from the majority party or coalition, or triggering new elections. |

| | Speaking on television this weekend, Prime Minister and Justice and Development Party (AKP) leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan advocated the eventual adoption of a presidential or semi-presidential system in Turkey, one based on the US model. | | | “I believe that a presidential system would be best for Turkey,” he said. | | | But, if we achieve this, I believe our nation will make a great leap forward.” A presidential system would end the legislature and executive branch from stepping on each other’s toes in “interventions,” he predicted. |

| | Since Taiwan abolished the National Assembly and began holding direct presidential elections, the Presidential Office and the Legislative Yuan have become the main seats of power in Taiwan’s democratic political system. | | | However, the semi-presidential system adopted in the Constitution is an obstacle to the realization of political accountability. | | | For example, while the elected president should have executive power, he should also take political responsibility and be effectively monitored by the legislative branch. |
