[[Haesan]] uses a semi-presidential system, with both a president and a prime minister.  The President of Haesan is the head of state, is responsible for overseeing all international relations, serves as the commander in chief of Haesan's armed forces, can appoint ministers to the Cabinet of Haesan, proposes judicial appointments, and serves as the tiebreaker in both the [[Chamber of the Commonwealth]] and the Chamber of Deputies.  The Prime Minister of Haesan is the leader of the governing party or coalition in the Chamber of Deputies and is responsible for setting the legislative agenda. 

The [[National Assembly (Haesan)|National Assembly]] of Haesan's lower chamber, the Chamber of Deputies, is the most important organ in Haesan's government.  The majority party or coalition has the ability to pass legislation, manage the budget including levying taxes, vote to impeach the President and start a trial in the Chamber of the Commonwealth, and define the scope and function of the Cabinet agencies.  The upper chamber of the National Assembly, the Chamber of the Commonwealth, retains veto power over all Chamber of deputies legislation, and can strike any legislation down with a two-thirds vote.  Additionally, the Chamber of the Commonwealth approves all judicial nominees, runs the trial of the President in case of impeachment, and advises the Chamber of Deputies throughout the legislative process.  

Haesan has an independent judiciary.  The [[High Court (Haesan)|High Court]] of Haesan has supreme jurisdiction over all legal matters, including maintaining the right to final appellate review.  The High Court seats 11 justices, and they serve 24 year terms.  There are provincial high courts, one in each province, which serve as the next highest courts for appeal.  Because Haesan uses a common law system, judicial precedent is of the utmost importance.
