The statement "When the president does it, does that mean it is not illegal?" suggests a belief in the idea of presidential immunity from the law. However, in a democratic society, no one, including the president, is above the law.

A key difference between a parliamentary government and a presidential government lies in the structure of executive power. In a parliamentary system, the executive branch is led by a prime minister who is chosen from the legislative branch, while in a presidential system, the president is elected separately from the legislature and holds both ceremonial and executive powers. Additionally, parliamentary systems often allow for more flexibility in government formation and dissolution through votes of no confidence, whereas presidential systems have fixed terms for the executive leader.
