presidentparliamentary

President-parliamentary is a system of government where a president serves as both the head of state and the head of government, but also has a prime minister or a similar position that operates under the president's authority. This system is often seen as a hybrid of presidential and parliamentary systems.

In a president-parliamentary system, the president is typically elected by popular vote or by the legislature, and serves a fixed term. However, the president does not have the power to dissolve the legislature or call new elections, except in certain circumstances. The prime minister or similar position is responsible for running the government and must have the confidence of the legislature to remain in office.

The key features of a president-parliamentary system include:

* A president who serves as head of state and head of government

* A prime minister or similar position that operates under the president's authority

* A fixed-term president, but not the power to dissolve the legislature

* A requirement for the president to work with the legislature to pass laws and pass a budget

The president-parliamentary system is currently used in several countries, including Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. It is seen as a way to combine the advantages of both presidential and parliamentary systems, while avoiding the drawbacks of each.

The president-parliamentary system has both supporters and critics. Supporters argue that it provides stability and continuity, as well as a strong president who can take decisive action. Critics argue that it can lead to a concentration of power in the president's hands, and that it may not provide sufficient checks and balances on the executive branch.
