Semi-presidential system
A
semi-presidential system
is a
system of government
in which a
president
exists along with a
prime minister
and a cabinet, with the latter two being responsible to the legislature of a
state
. It differs from a
parliamentary republic
in that it has a popularly elected
head of state
, who is more than a purely ceremonial
figurehead
, and from the
presidential system
in that the
cabinet
, although named by the president, is
responsible
to the
legislature
, which may force the cabinet to resign through a
motion of no confidence
.
