Its a trade off. The US way basicly chooses a dictator for 4 years.
Consider in nearly 250 years of this country. Not one President was removed from office (Nixon might have been had he not resigned) No matter how unpopular he was, there is a thread of “worst presidents” all of them completed their terms.
sure we through around buzz words like “checks and balances” to make ourselves feel good, but these are largely pretend. True nly congress can declare war, but the last time that happened was WW2, and Im pretty sure there have been several wars since then. oops ope, call them “police actions” or some other phrase to make it ok.
Oh but the President cant pass laws, no problem just cal it “executive decision” now he can do what he wants.

If your goal is stability, then yes the Us system is pretty good.
If your goal is something more democratic like following the will of the people, then a parliamentary sysem does a better job of keeping that in check
