A President is a Head of State while a Prime Minister is a Head of Government. In countries that don't have a Prime Minister, the President may also be Head of Government. A Head of State typically signs legislation (with or without a veto), conducts diplomatic relations, presents national honours, appoints officials and serves various ceremonial purposes. A Head of Government is typically in charge of organizing and directing government policy. The relationship between the two varies depending on the country, sometimes with the Head of State clearly in charge with a subordinate Head of Government, through various degrees of power sharing, down to the Head of State being entirely ceremonial and all power belonging to the Head of Government.
