USPS is operated by a 11-person Board of Governors — the Postmaster General, his deputy, and nine governors appointed by the President and approved by the Senate for seven-year terms. Some of these slots are frequently empty. The Board appoints the Postmaster General, who acts as the CEO.
A separate Postal Regulatory Commission with five members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate oversees the USPS, including the rates it charges.
