   The board is planning to fight #Trump’s order…. In an emergency meeting Thurs, the board retained outside counsel & gave instructions to sue the White House if Trump were to remove members of the board or attempt to alter the agency’s #independent status.
   
2 of the group’s #GOP members — Derek Kan, a fmr Trump admin ofcl, & Mike Duncan, a fmr chair of the #Republican National Cmte — were not in attendance….[too busy licking Trump’s boots]

     #Trump’s order to place the #Commerce Dept in charge of the USPS would violate federal #law…. Another #ExecutiveOrder earlier this week instructed #independent agencies to align more closely w/the White House, though that order is likely to prompt court challenges & the Postal Service by law is generally exempt from executive orders.

     Members of the Postal Service’s bipartisan board are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

     #Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the USPS & absorb the #independent #mail agency into his admin, potentially throwing the 250-year-old mail provider & trillions of dollars of #ECommerce transactions into turmoil.

     Trump is expected to issue an #ExecutiveOrder as soon as this week to fire the members of the Postal Service’s governing board & place the agency under the control of the Commerce Dept & Secy Howard Lutnick, per 6 people familiar w/the plans….

     #Trump expected to take control of #USPS, fire postal board, officials say
     
The move threatens to upend trillions of dollars in #ECommerce business & the 250-year-old #Postal Service.
