There is a trade off between preference integration and Political coherence.

In a Presindentialist system you give large powers to a single person, so you have coherent and decisive policy, at the cost of disenfranchiment of half of the people, polarization and the danger of turning presidentialism into dictatorship.

Presidentialism is mini autocracy, and it has some of its advantages, as described by Hobbes. For me the advantages are modest, the Risk enormous.
