Township people's congress is a grass-root organization in our country. It has the widest and deepest communication functions as the connection between the political situation and public opinion, and is of great significance in speeding up the process of democracy and constituting a harmonious society. As the backbone of township people's congress, Chairman of the township People's Congress is an important part of it. It has been playing a crucial role in acting as a link to the people's congress delegates at grass roots and in organizing the representatives to carry out activities. However, the authority of Chairman of the township People's Congress endowed by law is relatively simple, and the chairman is also in charge of too much daily work. These cause the confliction between their statutory functions and the functions they actually perform. In addition, currently the positions of full-time chairmen or vice chairmen of the congress are lower in the Party than those of the chief executives of township at large. There is little effect or even no effect in their supervisory work. The circulation of cadres is universally slower than that of party committee members, resulting in the thinking such as "withdrawing to the Second Line" and "being the Chairman of Newspaper and Tea" among cadres of people's congress, which has seriously affected the efficiency of Chairman of the township People's Congress and violated the initial idea of setting up this position. Therefore, some scholars argue that the position of Chairman of the township People's Congress should be repealed since it can not perform its function. Nevertheless, some other people are against this view, and suggest solving the problems by the setting up a standing presidium and putting the chairman of the people's congress into the party committee.Should the position of Chairman of the township People's Congress be repealed or maintained, strengthened or weakened?
