decision was up to some committee? DeJoy has been a disaster to the finances of our USPS as well as all this monkey business that ALWAYS seems to benefit Trump.

the board selects the head, and the board plus the head select the number two.

Last time I saw the list/description of the board it seemed like one of Biden's appointees must like DeJoy, because there ought to have been enough votes (based on who appointed them/party affiliation) to can him. So maybe Biden et al didn't select their appointments with that goal in mind, or maybe they chose poorly/got bamboozled. Or maybe I misread that list. I dunno. But Biden can't directly hire or fire the USPS head in any case.
