39 U.S.C. § 208 — Reservation of powers

submitted 56 years ago by Pub. L. 91-375 to r/title-39-POSTAL-SERVICE · 44 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets Congress change or cancel any part of this title at any time. But any change Congress makes cannot break a contract the Postal Service has already made under its powers.

This is a single unlabeled rule. Congress keeps the power to alter, amend, or repeal any or all of the sections in this title, whenever it chooses. But there is a limit: no such change can impair — that is, weaken or break — the obligation of any contract the Postal Service has already made using powers this title gives it.

Congress reserves the power to alter, amend, or repeal any or all of the sections of this title, but no such alteration, amendment, or repeal shall impair the obligation of any contract made by the Postal Service under any power conferred by this title.
