Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the characteristics of the presidential system. The subject of the analysis of the paper is the various features of the system such as the constitutional structure, the constitutional powers of the executive branch, the electoral system, the party system, the advantages and disadvantages of this system. We will look at the development of the very concept and key features of the presidential system as a form of state power that is typical of the United States. The basic feature of this system is the constitutional guarantee of the independence of the presidential government. In both the presidential and parliamentary systems, there is a fundamental difference that is reflected in the institution of government itself. There is no government in the presidential system as a collective body, because the bearer of government activity is the president himself, who is also the head of state and represents a set of powers. In order for this to exist, three conditions must be met: the head of state comes from the people, there cannot be a vote of no confidence in parliament and he runs a government of his own choosing.
