The objective of this study is the Brazilian Presidential government system. Based on its characteristics, several competencies of the Executive and Legislative powers were analyzed. It was found that there is, on the one hand, a concentration of competencies (or powers) in the hands of the President of the Republic. On the other hand, the system does not have appropriate mechanisms to attribute responsibility to the head of our Federal Executive, to remove him from his position, which makes him excessively strong within the system, to such an extent that he holds all the decisions on the destinies of the State. The good performance of the government depends much more on the person who holds the position of President than on the established Institutions. The consequences of these circumstances are democratic fragility, the difficulty of political control and even judicial control of the President of the Republic in Brazil.
