It can’t be. The US constitution states that one of the functions of the US government is to provide a mail service.
Without a constitutional amendment, the USPS *HAS* to stay operating and under federal control.
It also says that they have to provide a currency, but they have a Private Corporation print and issue its’ Money. They call it the FED.
Since when has the constitution ever constrained the government?
If you’ll check, I think you’ll find the Constitution states “The Congress shall have the power to........establish post offices and post roads.” It doesn’t say they are required to do so, just that they have the power to do it. I haven’t seen anything there that forbids anyone else to carry letters or written communications, it’s just that we came to rely on the Post Office for so long that it became established as the only one allowed. It may be, but not by the Constitution, as far as I can see.
“The US constitution states that one of the functions of the US government is to provide a mail service.”
Lets make this a ceremonial office that sends out reminders about national holidays or something. Down size it to 1 percent of of its current operation.
Providing mail service does not mean we have to support an ineeficient bureacracy without an expiration date. I am sure that a constiutional alternative that’s superior to the current fiasco cold be devised.
