Explain in detail what a “vote of no confidence” is. Can it exist in presidential systems? Please explain why.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should explain that, through a no confidence vote, the Parliament essentially removes from power those occupying positions in the executive branch. Students should acknowledge that it does not exist in presidential systems due to the fixed term of both the executive and the legislative branches, and the separation between the two branches.
