A system with a separately elected executive (President) who is both head of state and head of government, with a fixed tenure and separation of powers from the legislature.

Step 2: Historical origin.
The modern presidential model {originated} with the U.S. Constitution (1787). It institutionalized separation of powers, checks and balances, and independent mandates for President and Congress.
