who makes the decisions in a presidential government
Presidential system A presidential system is a democratic and republican system of government where a head of government leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch. This head of government is in most cases also the head of state, which is called president.
Federal government of the United States The executive power in the federal government is vested in the President of the United States,[7] although power is often delegated to the Cabinet members and other officials.[8][9] The president and vice president are elected as running mates by the Electoral College, for which each state, as well as the District of Columbia, is allocated a number of seats based on its representation (or ostensible representation, in the case of D.C.) in both houses of Congress.[7][10] The president is limited to a maximum of two four-year terms.[11] If the president has already served two years or more of a term to which some other person was elected, he or she may only serve one more additional four-year term.[7]
