He was also shutting down mail sorting machines during the largest mail in vote in American history.

He was kept in the position for a few reasons, one of which was since he was a Republican appointed PMG, it was easier for reform bills involving the PO to pass. He helped gain bipartisan support on removing the retirement pre-funding bill that was costing us a shitload of money.

Probably the only good thing he's done besides announcing his resignation, but even that means there's gonna be another Turnip appointmented PMG.
