What will the status of DeJoy be now with the R-House and D-Senate? Will his ouster become

stagnet or will plans to oust him come to fruition?

[leftieNanner]

1. Congress has nothing to do with DeJoy

The only way he can be fired is by the Board of Governors for the Postal Service.

2. Was there even any attempt of an ouster ?

3. The status of the Postmaster General is not determined by who controls

the House, and the Senate matters only to the extent that the position requires Senate confirmation. He can be removed only by the Board of Governors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Governors_of_the_United_States_Postal_Service#:~:text=The%209%20governors%20elect%20the,remove%20all%20of%20these%20officers.

4. No difference.

5. He is not going to be removed, he will remain. The House and the

Senate have no power to remove him. Only the Board of Governors can do that and they will not remove him.

7. I thought Biden replaced one of the governors. True? Insufficient? nt

8. It may have actually been more than one........

but there has never been any evidence that there was ANY push from the White House for doing anything with De(Ain't-No-F'ing)Joy.

9. Biden appointed Dan Tangherlini (R) and Trump alum Derek Kan who worked for Mitch

McConnel to the board. Neither will vote to oust DeJoy.

10. He must have made a deal

For something else, that's how it works. I can't believe he would do it otherwise.

11. Who would he have made a deal with? The Turtle? I doubt any deal was made that soon.

President Biden has sent a clear message to progressives regarding the U.S. Postal Service (USPS): major change is out, and Trump fundraiser Louis DeJoy can stay as postmaster general for the next few years. He will lead 21 percent of the federal civilian workforce.

The president did this by nominating two highly impressive, accomplished public servants — Dan Tangherlini and Derek Kan — to serve on USPS’s Board of Governors, i.e., its board of directors.

The Board of Governors, not President Biden, has the authority to fire and hire the postmaster general. So, while Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), and dozens of members of Congress have demanded DeJoy be fired, he is staying in place.

With the likely confirmation of Tangherlini and Kan, Biden will have five nominees on the full board versus four from President Trump. But Kan is a Republican who worked in the Trump administration and for Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), making him unlikely to remove DeJoy. And at least two of Biden’s other confirmed nominees have shown no inclination to remove DeJoy.
