10 | 2005 Annual Report United States Postal Service
Board of Governors
As the governing body of the Postal Service,
the 11-member Board of Governors has re-
sponsibilities comparable to a board of direc-
tors of a publicly held corporation. The Board
is composed of nine Governors appointed by
the President of the United States with the
advice and consent of the Senate. Not more
than five Governors may be members of the
same political party. The other two members
of the Board are the Postmaster General
and the Deputy Postmaster General. The
Governors appoint the Postmaster General,
who serves at their pleasure without a specific
term of office. The Governors, together with
the Postmaster General, appoint the Deputy
Postmaster General.
The Board meets on a scheduled basis
and, at the annual meeting in January, the
Chairman and the Vice Chairman are elected
by the Governors from among all members of
the Board.
The Board directs the exercise of the power
of the Postal Service. It establishes policies,
basic objectives, and long-range goals for
the Postal Service in accordance with Title
39 of the United States Code. The Governors
are authorized to establish reasonable and
equitable classes of mail and reasonable and
equitable rates of postage and fees for postal
service. A specific power reserved by statute
for the Governors alone is to approve, allow
under protest, reject or, by unanimous written
decision, modify recommended decisions of
the Postal Rate Commission on postal rate and
mail classification changes.
