A President is an independent executive. In the United States, the President is indirectly elected by the people. He may or may not be from the majority party in the Legislature and often opposes their activities. A Prime Minister is derived directly from the Legislature making him a dependent executive. He will be both the head of the Legislature as well as the Executive creating a uniform governmental approach. However, he is seen as the representative of the party and not necessarily the representative of the people.

Canada has the Senate and the House of Commons, which is the Legislative branch of goverment; while the US has the Senate and the House of Represenatives. They are basiclly the same thing. They are just called different. The Judiual branch is the same for both countries.The Executive branch has the Queen, the General Governor, the Prime Minister, and the Cabinet. The US has the President, the Cabinet, and the Vice President.AnswerProbably the most important difference between the Canadian and American governments is that Canada follows a parliamentary system while the US follows a presidential one. This means that, in Canada, the executive branch is responsible to the legislature, while in the US, the executive branch is independent of the legislature. In Canada, if the legislature disagrees with what the executive is doing, then, potentially after trying to regain support in the legislature through a general election, the executive has to step down. Because of this, the executive branch is chosen based on the composition of the legislature after a general election. In the US, the President is elected separately, and he and his Cabinet serve their terms until the next presidential election.
