The principal definition of Semi-Presidentialism is besides a directly elected president, also a government originated from and /or responsible to the parliament.   The presidential powers could as well exceed the traditional powers of a Semi-Presidential system such as Russia or other CIS-countries. Political systems of this sort has shown a presidential function combined with a semi-presidential form. By this I mean that the government however responsible to the parliament is closely related to the president and does not by originate from the parliament. The  government is more often composed of extra-parliamentarian individualos without party affiliation.
