Government Proposal Discussion: Presidential Parliamentarian (Closed)

[Purple State]

This thread is for the discussion of ideas relating to the Presidential Parliamentarian proposal for the new government.

Basic Characteristics
Unicameral legislature, like the one we have currently, expanded slightly, that elects a Prime Minister (Head of Government) who selects his cabinet
Could also include a President (Head of State) that is elected through a nationwide popular vote

Discussion shall last no less than 48 hours and no more than 240 hours (10 days) unless there is continued and productive discussion.

At the conclusion of debate there will be a vote in a separate thread to choose which models of government shall be pursued by the Convention. Please visit the other Government Proposal Discussion threads and comment on those as well.

I would rather the legislature be expanded, the President and PM share certain powers and have semi-checks on one another, and allow dual office holding over different levels of government.

This seems to me to be one of the better options on the table. It allows for a dynamic system and could involve some fun interactions between the different heads of state.
