3. I do not see, from the law governing the postal board, how Bloom could get another term.

He was appointed by Trump to fill a seat that had one year remaining in a term of someone who left.

At the end of that year/term, he was granted a one year "HOLDOVER" term, which expires Dec. 8.

The law is careful to say that an appointee can only serve two terms.

The law is careful to say that a board member (and ostensibly the postmaster) may be removed for corruption.

How much more corrupt could it be than the fact that Louis DeJoy invested $300,000 in Bloom's financial investment business?

(And how much more corrupt could DeJoy be than the conflicts of interest between his own financial holdings and the monies the USPS spends on various associated contracts and services?)

Bloom has said he is "tickled pink" at DeJoy's "accomplishments" as Postmaster.

Dump him as of December 8. And don't look back. A re-up would be a GRAVE mistake by Biden administration.
