The Board of Governors of the UnitedStates Postal Service is an eleven member board comparable to a board of directors of a private corporation, except in service of the American postal system. Nine members are appointed by the President of the UnitedStates , subject to confirmation by the Senate. The nine presidentially appointed Governors choose the UnitedStates Postmaster General Postmaster General , who also serves as a member of the Board. These 10, in turn, choose a Deputy Postmaster General, who becomes the 11th member of the Board. The Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General serve at the pleasure of the Governors. Each Governor is appointed to a nine year term or to the remainder of an unexpired term created by the death or resignation of a sitting Governor. Terms of the Governors are staggered to expire each year on December 8. A Governor whose term has expired may continue to sit on the Board for up to one year until a successor has been appointed. No more than five of the nine Governors may be of the same political party. On December 20, 2006, President George W. Bush signed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, P.L. 109 435, which changed the terms of subsequently appointed Governors from nine to seven years. The Board generally meets once a month. Each January, the Governors elect a Chairman and a Vice Chairman. Each Governor receives 300 per day for not more than 42 days of meetings each year and travel expenses, in addition to an annual salary of 30,000.
