टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

In a Presidential system, there is a separation of government powers and a system of 'checks and balances'. The President i.e., head of the executive is directly elected by the citizens for a fixed tenure. He/she enjoys powers granted to the office by the constitution and must conduct his/her administration in accordance with laws passed by the legislature. Members of the executive are prohibited from being members of the legislature. The legislature is also popularly elected. Its powers are not absolute since the President can exercise 'Veto Power' to reject a law passed by the legislature. Similarly, the legislature can also impeach the President if it is proved that the constitution has been violated by him/her. The President continues in office irrespective of whether he/she enjoys majority support in the legislature. However such lack of support may lead to a breakdown or impasse in government functioning.
