The resignation of Louis DeJoy as U.S. Postmaster General comes amidst ongoing discussions about the potential overhaul of the United States Postal Service (USPS) by Trump officials, including considering having the Commerce Department take control of what was established to be an independent postal service. This move has raised concerns among legal experts who believe it may violate the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, which transformed the Post Office Department into "an independent establishment of the executive branch." DeJoy's resignation follows his agreement earlier this month to allow Elon Musk's DOGE team to help find further efficiencies at USPS. This decision has been met with controversy due to Trump's long-standing criticism of the postal service's troubled finances and his support for privatizing it, which led to protests by unions of postal workers in recent weeks. The potential overhaul of the USPS raises questions about its future as an independent establishment within the executive branch and the implications this may have on the American public who rely heavily on its services.
