attack the Federal Reserve.

the media will offer to drop the blade on their own necks if they think they'll sell a subscription.

The President doesn't have that authority.

Even if he can't do you think that is going to stop Trump? I just wish the Dems would stop playing by different set of rules

That (fire for "due cause" ) might apply to some other "termed" positions like the FBI Director (which is a 10-year term), but NOT the USPS Postmaster.

Good article describing this - https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/02/biden-cannot-fire-usps-louis-dejoy.html

Here is a link to THE LAW - H.R.17070 - Postal Reorganization Act

Go read it and get back to me. The position is NOT Senate-confirmed and is only someone "recommended by" the President. But that individual is CONFIRMED by the Postal Board, and is thus NOT subject to the President's further action. This was done INTENTIONALLY.

ETA - Do NOT confuse the "Postmaster General" with the individual "Postal Governors" on the Board, the latter of which ARE nominated by the President, confirmed by the Senate, and can be "removed for cause". The "Postmaster General" is NOT one of those "Governor" positions.

I was told by them directly the normal process is for the board to vote to remove him but if the general screws up big enough the president can fire him.


BTW no need to make this personal

I worked for the federal government for over 30 years before retiring.

Laws matter.

Biden can fire one of the "Board of Governors" members "for cause" as that person is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

But the Postmaster General is NOT a "Senate-confirmed" position and was purposely isolated from the whims of the President, the law instead putting the onus ON THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS to do the "firing", since THEY were the ones who VOTED (and approved) to make that person the Postermaster.

The Postmaster General can only be removed by the board of governors. The President doesn't nominate the postmaster General, the board chooses. The President nominates members of the board and can remove them.

He is saying the rules allow him to stay. By saying "oh well, Trump will just fire him anyway", you're being more defeatist than Powell.

Dejoy was not removed because the President did not want him removed.

regardless of who is President, and there can be no more than 5 of one party on the Board. So Biden had to appoint (R)s as well as (D)s.

There are still 2 pending replacements awaiting confirmation (including (D) Val Demmings) - https://news.usps.com/2024/08/12/demings-zollars-nominated-for-usps-board-of-governors-seats/

Schumer has been prioritizing judicial confirmations and that will obviously be the highest focus now before the end of this session of Congress.

Tell me if I am wrong. And just think what that would do the markets that Trump is intending to take credit for.

I saw this article and cracked up - Trump is likely to allow Fed chair to stay. Powell said he can’t be fired anyway

then I can almost/maybe guarantee you he will send some law enforcement after him. He tear gassed protesters so he could
walk across the street to show off a bible, what makes you think he wouldn't send his goons in to go after Powell.

How many laws did he and his clan break while they were in the White House and no one stopped him. We shall see.

He could order him shot and as an "official duty", that would be acceptable to the SCOTUS. If TSF wants to crash the economy, let him. That's what it will take to get all those ignorant Faux News watching Republicans to realize that their Orange Jesus is a hack.

replace him in a year and a half.
