Postal Clause

Article I, Section 8, Clause 7, of the United States Constitution, the Postal Clause, authorizes the establishment of "post offices and post roads" by the country's legislature, the Congress. As one of Congress's enumerated powers listed in the Constitution's first article, the clause has been invoked as the constitutional basis for the United States Post Office Department and its successor, the United States Postal Service.
