The action will install a stalwart Trump ally to lead the Postal Service, which he has railed against for years, and likely move him closer than ever before to forcing the service to renegotiate its terms with companies and its own union workforce. Trump’s Treasury Department and the Postal Service are in the midst of a negotiation over a $10 billion line of credit approved as part of coronavirus legislation in March.

Can't wait until SCOTUS agrees in October that reducing the USPS to a single worker is legal because the constitution only says that is has to exist, not that it has to deliver mail.

Ackshully the Congress has the power to create post offices and post roads, but nothing about running a postal service so the USPS must be sold off to the most politically connected bidder
