Abstract
This paper studies the presidential system of government-the US model being its prototype-and its extension in Latin America. It breaks down the criticism that this system has received from the perspective of the parliamentary system, stressing the methodological myths incurred by this academic approach to Latin American presi-dentialisms. It systematizes the types of presidential systems, mainly the cases of Chile and Argentina, and the importance of considering presidential systems in their political and institutional contexts. It finishes with a reference to the semi-presidentialism, which considera a reasonable alternative for Latin America.
