Abstract
The United States Constitution provides that "no person holding any office under the United States, shall be a member of either House during his continuance in office." This prohibition on simultaneous membership in the legislative and executive branches is one feature that distinguishes the American constitutional system from the vast majority of genuinely democratic regimes in the world, most of which follow the parliamentary mode.
