In a parliamentary republic such as Israel, Ireland, Germany, Austria or Italy, the President serves a similar role to that of a constitutional monarch, normally representing the whole country abroad and awarding medals, while the Prime Minister is head of government and leads all political decisions. In a semi-presidential republic such as France, Russia or Iraq, the President normally has wide strategic policy powers while the Prime Minister represents (defends) the government in parliament and leads the civil service in implementing the Presidents policies.
This is due to the way France has separated their country's powers. France has a directly elected president whom is head of state and the armed forces. The president appoints a prime minister whom is head of the government.

Generally speaking, there are two chief executives in France, the President and the Prime Minister, making France a Semi-Presidential Republic.When the President and Prime Minister are from the same party, the President usually exercises control over all matters of state for which the executive has prerogatives. The President will delegate some responsibilities to the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister has little independence from the President.When the President and Prime Minister are from opposite parties, this is called "Cohabitation". While there is no law specifying how powers are divided in a case of cohabitation, it is now tradition that the president takes care of foreign policy and defense policy, while the prime minister takes care of domestic policy and economic policy.
