Sin control parlamentario, no puede existir democracia representativa. Las normas constitucionales y de los Reglamentos ya reflejan ya esa tendencia en Iberoamérica. Esta conclusión lleva a que el clásico debate sobre ambos sistemas de gobierno deba contemplarse de una manera distinta. El presidencialismo originario estadounidense es antiguo y difícilmente exportable. Existe actualmente un continuum en el binomio presidencialismo/ parlamentarismo con diferencias de grado. Se advierten tres tendencias: la presidencialización del parlamentarismo europeo, la parlamentarización del presidencialismo iberoamericano, e influencias recíprocas entre los Reglamentos parlamentarios. Pluripartidismo extremado, representación proporcional, y un entendimiento absolutista de la separación de poderes presidencial, que impida los controles parlamentarios, son rasgos incompatibles. La solución está en abandonar ese entendimiento absolutista. La idea de que el Presidente debe responder de forma diferida y directa ante el electorado hace imposible mecanismos de control- responsabilidad política de su figura, pero puede bastar con reforzar los de fiscalización para construir checks and balances.Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mèxico2017-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.juridicas.unam.mx/index.php/cuestiones-constitucionales/article/view/1145210.22201/iij.24484881e.2017.37.11452Cuestiones Constitucionales Revista Mexicana de Derecho Constitucional; Número 37, julio-diciembre 2017; 3-49Cuestiones Constitucionales.
