Which of the following best describes the process of executive removal in a parliamentary system as outlined in the passage? Passage embedded for this question: Parliamentary vs. Presidential Parliamentary systems center executive authority in a cabinet led by a prime minister who must retain legislative confidence. The head of state is usually separate and may invite a new government to form after elections or coalition negotiations. Presidential systems place executive authority in a president elected independently of the legislature. Removal Pathways Parliamentary executives are most commonly removed through political mechanisms: a vote of no confidence, loss of coalition support, or party leadership replacement that induces resignation. When confidence is lost, the prime minister typically resigns or seeks dissolution and new elections. Presidential executives are removed through impeachment, a multi-stage procedure involving formal charges and a trial, usually requiring a supermajority to convict. Because removal is difficult, presidents often remain in office unless misconduct allegations gain broad support. Example Canada (1979): The Clark government lost a confidence vote on a budget bill, prompting elections and a change in government.
