Features of Presidential Government
- Separation of Powers: The executive, legislature, and judiciary operate independently.
- Direct Election: The President (or Chief Executive) is typically elected directly by the people.
- Fixed Term: The executive serves for a fixed term regardless of legislative support.
- No Vote of Confidence: Unlike parliamentary systems, the executive is not subject to a confidence vote.
- Independent Administration: The executive has a clear mandate and operates independently from the legislature.
This model emphasizes checks and balances by maintaining a strict separation of powers among government branches.
