well using such logic, Majority govts in parliamentary systems are far more dictatorial (well in Canada). Also they use the First Past the Post electoral system, so a party can win a majority of seats with less than 40% support.

The President does not control congress, but a Prime Minister does in a majority govt situation (a Parliament).

A PM has control over executive power and control over legislative power as he also leads his party in a house.
He also has control of the judiciary as he can appoint people without the consent of parliament.
