WI U.S. was always parliamentary

What if, instead of the two-party system we have now, it is parliamentary, with many parties that have sizeable power, like in Europe?
 
If you want to look at it in a cynical kind of way in any contested race where three or more candidites recieve electoral votes and a single one doesn't get 51%, the election is thrown to the House.

That could be described as parlimentary. Though it's only happened once in 1824. Andrew Jackson kinda got screwed too with the Clay scandal.

But you could say that perhaps our constitution was written with this as a possibility.
 
I think that parlamentarism is something completly different (but I could be wrong).

A parlamentarian system give the parlament more power over the executive branch, including the right to fire the PM/president if they dislike the politics (as opposed to a impeachment which require a crime).

The Brittish lower house, in a parlamentary system, are elected trough simple majority in a area for example.
 
A parliamenatry system means that the parliament has more power that the president which is only a figurehead. The president is chosen by the parliament and the people elect the members of parliament but not the president.
