Summary of the Article on the Presidential System

One of the advantages of the presidential system is that the president has more constitutional powers and is able to implement his decisions faster. This is because the executive body is dependent on direct or indirect support. You can also see this system in the Canada government. The parliamentary system allows the government to pass legislation faster and more accurately. Another reason for this to be effective is that the president does not have veto power, so that the decisions taken are made to function faster. Another advantage of this system is the equal distribution of power and authority. Government and prime minister can be changed if parliament harms the country. This ensures that the government moves away from ineffective ones and ensures the continuity of management. Continuity of the administration leads to the welfare of the people.

One of the disadvantages of the presidential system is that it can create a comfortable ground for authoritarianism. When a person is given too much authority, he / she may display authoritarian attitudes under appropriate conditions. Centralization of the authority ensures that the president makes an effective impression in every field. Especially can lower the civil participation rate, as overpowering the chairman will allow the public to be misled. In addition, the separation of power is considered a disadvantage of the presidential system, as it will drag the government into a deadlock. If the president vetoes the approved invoices, it may prevent the government from forming a new law. You can see this in 1995, when Bill Clinton chaired. The government could not reach a common opinion on any issue. Due to the obstacles to the change of president, the president’s term of office was expected to expire. The head of state and the head of government are different from each other as well as from the parliamentary system. For example, the queen cannot veto the decisions taken by the government because she does not have the rights given by the electorate. while the prime minister has a say on the government, the head of state can attend the ceremonies. It is very important to maintain this balance. The US government, is more specialized in how to act in these situations, as the government establishes balance.
