The politics of the Central African Republic formally take place in a framework of a semi-presidential republic. In this system, the President is the head of state, with a Prime Minister as head of government. Executive power is exercised by the government.

Comparing the two country's constitutions: the government in Central Africa Republic is the same as the United States as they have a government leader or a president and both have a senate. They're different because Central Africa has a prime mister and a president where the U.S. only has a president. Another difference is that the U.S. has both a senate and a house of representatives and Central Africa only has a senate.

The way the president of Central Africa is chosen is the same as the United States. He is voted by the people of the country and then put into power. However in CAR (Central African Republic) there are no political party's or any electoral votes. It's simply based on the popular vote.
