The French Fifth Republic is a semi-presidential system. Unlike many other European presidents, the French president is quite powerful. Although it is the Prime Minister of France and parliament that oversee much of the nation's actual day-to-day affairs, the French president wields significant influence and authority, especially in the fields of national security and foreign policy.
The president's greatest power is his/her ability to choose the prime minister. However, since the French National Assembly has the sole power to dismiss the prime minister's government, the president is forced to name a prime minister who can command the support of a majority in the assembly.
