President-congress is better, because it ensures separation of powers.

How effective is that when one party (GOP atm) controls both houses and the Presidency?

Well there's a lot of other checks and balances (filibuster rules and all that) as well, but the most important thing is the relative independence of each member of Congress; one of the more admirable features of the U.S political system in many ways.

Exactly.
