What action occurs in presidential government but not in parliamentary government?

In a presidential government, the president is elected independently of the legislature and serves as both the head of state and the head of government, which allows for a clear separation of powers. This structure enables the president to veto legislation passed by the legislature without requiring a vote of confidence. In contrast, in a parliamentary government, the executive branch derives its legitimacy from the legislature and can be dismissed by a vote of no confidence, creating a more interdependent relationship between the two branches.

What are presidentual coattails?

Presidential coattails refer to the electoral advantage that candidates from the same political party experience when a presidential candidate leads their party to victory. This phenomenon occurs when a popular presidential candidate boosts the visibility and appeal of down-ballot candidates, such as those running for Congress or state offices. As a result, these candidates may gain more votes than they would have otherwise received, benefiting from the overall support for the presidential candidate. Coattails can significantly influence the composition of legislative bodies during election cycles.
