Is the United States Post Office ruled by the federal government?
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is not ruled or administered by the federal government. It does, however, perform its public function under federal statute and direction. The USPS is supervised by a board of nine governors, who are appointed by the president of the United States with the advice of the Senate.Source:Federal Jobs Network: Post Office JobsUnited States Postal Service: Comments to the Federal Trade CommissionUniversity of Missouri, St.
