" I declare that “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery where it now exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.” Those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that I had made this, and many similar declarations, and had never recanted them.".

In a PRESIDENTIAL government, there is a greater separation of powers between executive and legislative than in a PARLIAMENTARY system of government.
Details:
In a parliamentary system (such as that of Great Britain), the main executive branch office is that of the prime minister. The prime minister is the leader of whichever party receives the greatest number of seats in parliament when elections are held. So there is a direct connection between parliamentary power and executive power.
In a presidential system (such as that of the United States), there is a separation of powers between the executive branch and the legislative branch.
