"Let him once win the admiration and confidence of the country, and no other single force can withstand him, no combination of forces will easily overpower him. His position takes the imagination of the country. He is the representative of no constituency, but of the whole people. When he speaks in his true character, he speaks for no special interest. If he rightly interpret the national thought and boldly insist upon it, he is irresistible; and the country never feels the zest of action so much as when he is of such insight and calibre."
Presidentialism, alternatively the Presidential System is a common form of government in which an individual who is both head of state and head of government leads the executive branch which, unlike in a parliamentary system, is independent from the legislature. Another variant has both an executive president and separate parliamentary head of government co-exist, which is known as a 
Semi-Presidential System.
Beliefs
Presidentialism believes the head of government should also be the head of state and directly elected.
