In a congressional system the President holds a lot of power, hence the name executive branch. In a parliamentary system the power is spread wider out and one person does not have absolute power. In a parliamentary system there is a wider representation of people, more representatives, and many different positions.
In a parliamentary form of government, power is divided then spread out in a manner that is as equal as possible. The power of the prime minister is lateral with that of the president. However, in a parliamentary government, more emphasis is given on the political party than the individual, which is the case in American politics.

Parliamentary Model
A Parliamentary Democracy is characterized by the selection of the executive head of its government from the ranks of its national legislature. Usually this is individual is selected from the most numerous (aka "lower house") of the legislature if there be more than one house. Parliamentary Democracies usually have a figurehead Head of State who has no, or very limited power. Many Monarchies have made the transition from Autocracy to a Parliamentary Democracy (i.e. the United Kingdom), with the hereditary monarch filling the role as Head of State and the Prime Minister, elected from the House of Commons, exercising all real executive power. There are some Republics who also follow the Parliamentary Democracy model with an elected President with very limited power, and a Parliamentary executive with much broader power (i.e. the Federal Republic of Germany). The Republic of France has hybrid form of government, where the elected President shares power with a Prime Minister selected by the French Parliament. But the President exercises broader authority than a mere figurehead.
