A presidential system of democracy is based on the separation of powers between three branches of government: judicial, legislative and executive.
The president is the head of state, and oversees the executive branch of the government. To prevent the president from having too much power and abusing it, the judicial and legislative branches provide checks and balances against the executive branch's powers. Presidents and other members of the executive office can be dismissed through a process of impeachment and conviction if the president is found unfit to lead.
A presidential system is a system of government where an executive branch is led by a president who serves as both head of state and head of government.Presidents take more direct personal charge of policy than the cabinet does in a parliamentary system.

Laws are debated and passed by the parliament;
lobbyists do not have a formal right to be heared, but do exercise some influence on members of parliament in reality;
the president may block a law by veto;
as the president is elected as a personality (not only as a party leader) by the people (not by the parliament), he may or may not rely on a majority of the parliament (in practice there have been some periods with a president forced to cooperate with a majority of oppositional members of parliament)
The President is head of state and leader of the government. For example USA and France they both have presidents.
