Role of a President in Semi-Presidential System

In a semi-presidential system, the President shares power with a Prime Minister. The President typically oversees foreign affairs, represents the nation, and may have the authority to appoint the Prime Minister and dissolve the legislature. While the Prime Minister manages domestic policies and government day-to-day functions, the President plays a key role in shaping national direction and providing stability. This system aims to balance power and responsibilities, allowing for both strong leadership from the President and collaborative governance through the Prime Minister. Thus, the President's role is significant but often intertwined with that of the government’s head.
