This document summarizes the key features of a presidential form of government. It notes that in a presidential system, the executive (President) is independent of the legislature and not responsible to it. The President is both head of government and state, enjoys constitutionally defined powers, and serves a fixed term that can only be ended through impeachment. While this provides stable government and efficiency, it can also lead to non-cooperation between branches and an inflexible constitution. On balance, the presidential system is deemed more suitable for multiparty systems and emergencies.
