When an executive head of government is elected from within the legislature, we refer to the system as parliamentary. In this system, the executive branch is accountable to the legislative branch and may be removed from office through a vote of no confidence. This is in contrast to a presidential system where the executive branch is separate from the legislative branch and is not accountable to it in the same way. Semi-presidential and authoritarian systems also have distinct characteristics and are not applicable in this context.
