In June 1788, the ninth state ratified the Constitution, which gave Congress the power “To establish Post Offices and post Roads” in Article I, Section 8. A year later, the Act of September 22, 1789 (1 Stat. 70), continued the Post Office and made the Postmaster General subject to the direction of the President. Four days later, President Washington appointed Samuel Osgood as the first Postmaster General under the Constitution. A population of almost four million was served by 75 Post Offices and about 2,400 miles of post roads.
And that is an anachronism that needs to be corrected,.
If you are subsisting on a Postal pension, I’m sorry, I really really am. But you better figure out a way to survive because it is going to disappear pretty soon.
You probably hate me for telling you this but it’s the truth.
