In a parliamentary system, the executive branch derives its legitimacy from and is accountable to the legislative branch. The head of state is usually different than the head of government. Legislation can pass more quickly since the executive includes members of the legislature. In a presidential system, the head of state is also the head of the executive branch, which is separate from the legislature. This can lead to stalemate if the branches are controlled by different parties. The president has a fixed term and cannot be removed by a no confidence vote like in a parliamentary system.

2. A parliamentary system is a system of democratic
governance of a state in which the executive branch
derives its democratic legitimacy from, and is held
accountable to, the legislature (parliament); the executive
and legislative branches are thus interconnected. In a
parliamentary system, the head of state is normally a
different person from the head of government. This is in
contrast to a presidential system in a democracy, where the
head of state often is also the head of government, and
most importantly: the executive branch does not derive its
democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

3. A parliamentary system may be a bicameral
system with two chambers of parliament (or
houses): an elected lower house, and an
upper house or Senate which may be
appointed or elected by a different
mechanism from the lower house. Another
possibility is aunicameral system with just
one parliamentary chamber

7. Advantage of Parliamentary Government
One of the commonly attributed advantages to
parliamentary systems is that it is faster and easier to
pass legislation,[3] as the executive branch is dependent
on the direct or indirect support of the legislative branch
and often includes members of the legislature. Thus the
executive (as the majority party or coalition of parties in
the legislature) has a majority of the votes, enabling
them to pass legislation. In a presidential system, the
executive is often chosen independently from the
legislature. If the executive and the majority of the
legislature are from different political parties, then
stalemate can occur.

8. A presidential system is a republican system of
government where a head of government is also head of
state and leads an executive branch that is separate from
the legislative branch. The United States, for instance, has a
presidential system. The executive is elected and often
titled "president" and is not responsible to the legislature
and cannot, in normal circumstances, dismiss it. The
legislature may have the right, in extreme cases, to dismiss
the executive, often through impeachment. However, such
dismissals are seen as so rare as not to contradict a central
tenet of presidentialism, that in normal circumstances
using normal means the legislature cannot dismiss the
executive.

9. Presidential systems are numerous and diverse, but the
following are generally true:
1 . The executive can veto legislative acts and, in
turn, a supermajority of lawmakers may override
the veto. The veto is generally derived from
the British tradition of royal assent in which an act
of parliament can only be enacted with the assent
of the monarch.
2. The president has a fixed term of office. Elections
are held at regular times and cannot be triggered by
a vote of confidence or other parliamentary
procedures. Although in some countries there is an
exception, which provides for the removal of a
president who is found to have broken a law.

10. The executive branch is uni personal. Members of
the cabinet serve at the pleasure of the president and
must carry out the policies of the executive and
legislative branches. Cabinet ministers or executive
departmental chiefs are not members of the
legislature. However, presidential systems often need
legislative approval of executive nominations to the
cabinet, judiciary, and various lower governmental
posts. A president generally can direct members of the
cabinet, military, or any officer or employee of the
executive branch, but cannot direct or dismiss judges.
The president can often pardon or commute sentences
of convicted cri

11. Countries that feature a presidential system of
government are not the exclusive users of the title
of President. For example, a dictator, who may or
may not have been popularly or legitimately
elected may be and often is called a president.
Likewise, leaders of one-party states are often
called presidents. Most parliamentary
republics have presidents, but this position is
largely ceremonial; notable examples
include Germany, India, Ireland, Israel and Italy.
The title is also used in parliamentary republics
with an executive presidency, and also in semi-presidential
systems.

12. Direct elections — in a presidential system, the president is often
elected directly by the people. This makes the president's power more
legitimate than that of a leader appointed indirectly. However, this is
not a necessary feature of a presidential system. Some presidential
states have an unelected or indirectly elected head of state.
Separation of powers — a presidential system establishes the
presidency and the legislature as two parallel structures. This allows
each structure to monitor and check the other, preventing abuses of
power.
Speed and decisiveness — A president with strong powers can
usually enact changes quickly. However, the separation of powers can
also slow the system down.
Stability — a president, by virtue of a fixed term, may provide more
stability than a prime minister, who can be dismissed at any time.

13. Direct elections
In most presidential systems, the president is
elected by popular vote, although some such as
the United States uses an electoral college (which
is itself directly elected) or some other method.
By this method, the president receives a personal
mandate to lead the country, whereas in a
parliamentary system a candidate might only
receive a personal mandate to represent a
constituency. That means a president can only be
elected independently of the legislative branch.
