(58,785 posts)The move was a surprise to postal officials and even members of Congress, according to three people with knowledge of the matter, and casts doubt on DeJoys future at the agency. It potentially gives liberals on the panel two crucial votes to oust the postal chief, who can be removed only by the board. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about private discussions.
The White House on Friday, confirming a Washington Post report on the decision, announced it would nominate Daniel Tangherlini, who served as the administrator of the General Services Administration during the Obama administration, to replace Ron A. Bloom. Derek Kan, a Republican and the former deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, would replace Republican John M. Barger.
We are, of course, deeply troubled, continue to be deeply troubled as many Americans are by the earlier reporting on Postmaster General DeJoys potential financial conflicts of interest and take serious issues with the job hes doing running the Postal Service, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said later Friday during a press briefing. Its up to the board to make a determination about leadership, but we have continued concerns about the postmaster generals leadership.
I hope that Republican isn't going to be a cog in the works

(58,785 posts)and the list I saw some time ago had 4 and 4 and one supposed independent. So the party requirement very likely was the reason, but maybe someone knows if there were any others in play too. ?
