4. The SENATE has to do something? To confirm the nominees?

Oh great, let me guess, this can be filibustered too!

14. Guess again.

No, they can't be filibustered.

11. Board is still short one Senate confirmed member.

Replacement for Bloom.

3. DeJoy serves at the pleasure of the board of governors. Biden removed a Dem ally of DeJoy.

That was an obstacle, as neither party is allowed majority. They will need independent support (or criminal prosecution) to remove this saboteur.

6. Wait WHAT? If not allowed a majority and the traitor gets a vote, he will never leave.

So I am CONFUSED

8. One side is follows the rules of bipartisanship, while the other plays constitutional hardball.

The system assumes good faith actors on both sides, including some honest Republicans in this case.

Failing that, a functioning Congress has the authority to fix this.

10. it isn't so

neither party may have more than five members.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Is

Is there a total of nine including the postmaster general or does he/she make 10?

[Grasswire2]

9. that is not exact.

"Not more than five of the nine may belong to the same political party."

7. according to the latest list of board members from USPS site, they are still short one confirmed.

There are eight listed.

One more is needed to complete the board.

This person (who would have been appointed to replace Bloom whose term ended Dec. 8) may be waiting for Senate confirmation.

See for yourself.

13. Relying on the senate is scary

[Grasswire2]

16. dat's the law, though

They have to be Senate confirmed.

What a labyrinth of confusion our government is. Too many opportunities to tie things up by just one person.
