Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In American government, the chief executive (president) and the legislative branch (Congress) are separate and may have different priorities and agendas, which can lead to conflicts with the bureaucracy. In parliamentary systems, the chief executive (prime minister) is also a member of the legislative branch and therefore there is less potential for conflicts between the two.
