The party's powerful Central Committee last month passed a proposal to remove the two-term cap on Chinese presidency -- a move that has startled the world.
"I believe that's a decision for China to make about what's best for their country," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters.
The Central Committee proposed removing the clause that the President and Vice-President "shall serve no more than two consecutive terms" from the country's Constitution.
On Wednesday, members of the party's highest body, the Politburo Standing Committee were announced, with President Xi Jinping returning for a second five-year term as party general secretary.
"Your media coverage has captured the attention of the world" the Communist leader told reporters in Beijing.
Xi Jinping's name and dogma were added to the Communist Party's constitution alongside the party's founders at the close of a twice-a-decade congress of CPC.
President Xi Jinping's second term was endorsed by the Communist Party at the end of its week-long once-in-a-five-year Congress.
