It is an indirect democracy, rather than a direct one.

Ahem. Indirect democracy AKA representative democracy AKA republic is political system, where laws are voted by representatives who are elected by citizens. USA is indirect indirectracy. Or idiocracy. Like Putin's Russia, but with bells and whistles.

Direct democracy is rare beast. In it laws are directly voted by citizens on referendums.
