[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 597396, member: 18044"] Satellitedriver, Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution says: "The Congress shall have the power to . . . establish Post Offices and Post Roads . . ." That doesn't mandate a Post Office, or make it permanent, or require a constitutional amendment to change it. All it means is the Congress can create a Postal System by passing a law, if it wants to. (Not that Congress really thought it needed the Constitution's permission. Congress isn't exactly shy about passing laws and creating things, even those not mentioned in the Constitution.) - - - - - Read up on the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 to see that the taxpayer operating subsidy was fazed out in 1982/1983.
