The executive is Presidential. It is in France too and other European countries.

The legislature though, that is Congress and that is parliamentary is it not?

The rules of Congress, like how filibuster operates etc, are even called 'parliamentary procedure' are they not?

Calling Congress not a Parliament seems to me to be like saying that the USA is "a republic not a democracy", it is to conflate two separate issues.
