The President is a largely ceremonial office according to the Constitution,[note 1] and a 2019 report by the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a bipartisan commission within the United States Congress, recommends that the Chinese leader Xi Jinping be called "General Secretary" rather than "President", arguing that the title "president" incorrectly implies that the Chinese leader is democratically elected.[6] In August 2020, American lawmakers have introduced a bill to change the way the federal government refers to the general secretary of the CCP, prohibiting the use of the term "president".[7]
