I was curious if Haiti's political system was like India's - where the President is a figurehead position and the Prime minister has the practical authority, or if it was like the US - with President at the helm. It seems like it's a bit of both, a "semi-presidential" system like France. Wikipedia says the President is the "head of state" and the Prime minister is the "head of government"... but that doesn't really help me understand the role and powers of each in practice.
