Semi-parliamentary system

Semi-parliamentary system is a system of government in which the legislature is split into two parts that are both directly elected – the first chamber has the power to select and remove the members of the executive by a vote of (no) confidence, while the second chamber has the power to pass or reject legislation. This variant of parliamentarism was identified and theoretically rationalised by German academic Steffen Ganghof.
