Answer 1

In a presidential democracy, the citizens directly elect the president as head of government separately from the legislature. As the president of the state, he/she usually has a significant amount of power over the government.  The executive branch and the president are typically not liable to the legislature, but can never, under any circumstances dismiss the Legislature. Similarly, the legislature has no power to impeach the president unless in extreme cases. In presidential democracies, the head of state is the head on government. Countries with presidential democracies include the United States, Kenya, Sudan.
