Abstract
This study focuses on the political implications of the presidential system practice in the Jokowi-JK government. Constitutionally, the Indonesian government system adheres to a presidential system. However, there is a system confusion in practice that causes the President's role and position as head of government to be not optimal because his policies are often criticized and even intervened by the DPR. The purpose of this study is to analyze the political implications of the presidential system practice run by Jokowi-JK, using a case study approach and analyzing primary and secondary data. The specification of the research is analytical descriptive with qualitative method. The theories used include presidential theory, party system, coalition, and leadership theory. The study results show that the presidential-parliamentary-style system run by Jokowi-JK has implications for less than optimal decision-making by the President in the preparation of the cabinet and disruption of relations with parliament.

Summary
The presidential government system based on the 1945 Constitution has fulfilled the general characteristics of a presidential system. This system has unique characteristics identically to Indonesia and cannot be enforced the same as presidential systems in other countries. One of the characteristics that appeared when President Jokowi drafted the Working Cabinet was that the cabinet he formed was mostly from party elements rather than from professional circles as politics to accommodate various political interests. In a presidential system, the preparation of a cabinet is the prerogative of the President. The weakness of the Jokowi-JK regime in practicing the presidential system is very evident in the forming of the cabinet and coalition system created
