It turns out that the president doesn't get to remove the head of the PO. Biden DID work on filling seats with peeps with integrity. I don't remember exactly why, right now, but the process is more complicated than I had thought before I read up on it. :-(

I believe Biden appointed two Democratic members to the Board of Governors, one fairly recently. I have no idea why they haven't been able to get enough votes to remove DeJoy[less].
According to HCR the Postal Board must have an equal number of members from each party. So if 8 members there would be 4 Dems and 4 Repubs. When Trump was president 2 of the Dem seats expired and Trump filled them with Dems, as required, but he placed people who were basically DINO's in those seats. Also, it is the postal Board who votes to eject the Postmaster General. With 2 Dino's and 4 Repubs on the Board there is no chance of dumping DeJoy. Now, I believe there are 2 seats available and Biden has been trying to get the confirmations approved in the Senate. But due to the filibuster the names are not being put forward. I may have one or more sections of this not entirely accurate, but this is the gist of why we can't get rid of DeJoy.

Thanks Cathleen; I do hope your explanation is accurate. Is it just me, or does this appear (postal service logjams) to be another of those "booby traps" set up by the 'chessmasters' of the Leo cult ? >> https://www.axios.com/2024/09/12/leonard-leo-conservative-groups-funding

Thanks for clarifying! I couldn't remember the details of 4 & 4.
