Hey. I come from Poland which has parliamentary system and it differs quite a lot from yours. Since I'm having an important political science exam soon and I can't clearly distinguish pros and cons of your system I've decided to post a question
I know that your system is considered to be a very supportive for executive because the president can't virtually be removed from the seat and there's no such thing as a vote of no confidence but I can't see his power in here. He has no legislation rights and is separated from the Congress so from my perspective it looks like he's irremovable but still can't decide what law is established. I guess there's always a wiggle room, but if the Congress decides for one to completely ban abortion he can't do much but to implement that law. So please correct me but I believe that power of his lays in being a military commander, one-man government etc.
