(1,654 posts)He should be able to be fired for incompetence, since it might be hard to get direct evidence to charge him with election interference, although we all know that was the purpose of his orders that screwed up delivery. The Christmas check that my friend sent her son in Florida Dec. 14 just got there last week.

(35,317 posts)How is his incompetence and deliberate obstruction/destruction allowed?
Why is this position automatically tenured?

(115,829 posts)There are currently two openings on the nine-member-maximum board. If Biden fills those openings it might be possible to get enough votes on the board to sack him.

(70,567 posts)... and whacked (leave the gun take the cannoli) but fired and if they can't fire him he needs an
office in the basement with no windows and nothing to do.

old man."
Why does DeJoy still have a job? He had high speed mail sorting machines cut up and put into dumpsters.

(19,969 posts)The board directs "the exercise of the power" of the Postal Service, controls its expenditures and reviews its practices and policies.[3] It consists of 11 members, 6 are requisite to achieve an ordinary quorum. Of the 11 board members, 9 are the presidentially appointed governors, 1 is the postmaster general, and 1 is the deputy postmaster general. The 9 governors elect the postmaster general, the chairman of the board as well as the USPS inspector general; the governors and the postmaster general elect the deputy postmaster general. No more than five governors may be adherents of the same political party. The board also has the power to remove all of these officers.

(19,969 posts)there are currently 4 Republican governors and 1 Democratic governor, as the second appears to have finished his term in December. If that's the case, Biden can appoint FOUR governors to bring the board back up to 9 and a 5 to 4 Democratic majority.

(166 posts)Post Office needs a change, asap! Took four weeks for a pkg to go from USPS at my house to Amazon. Took my gas bill over a week to go to cincinnati from north Detroit, making my bill late. Bullshit! I hope Biden can act on this soon...

(1,528 posts)18 U.S. Code § 1701 - Obstruction of mails generally
Whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs or retards the passage of the mail, or any carrier or conveyance carrying the mail, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 778; Pub. L. 103322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(B), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2146.)
No-one, ever, had done as much as DeJoy to "retard the passage of the mail".
Prosecute the SOB and then jail him and he can be fired for cause.
