- krapp 9y agoI Am Not A Constitutional Scholar, but I don't read that as the Constitution explicitly requiring the Post Office, but merely delegating the power to do so to Congress. Presumably Congress would still be within its rights to not exercise that power, or to abolish the Post Office entirely.
