A resolution recognizing the 250th anniversary of the postal service of the United States.

This is a non-binding Senate resolution recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Postal Service (USPS). It highlights the USPS’s historical origins (founded July 26, 1775 by the Continental Congress) and constitutional basis for post offices and post roads, notes the USPS’s evolution into a modern federal independent establishment (established as an independent establishment in 1971), and emphasizes its role as a universal, six-days-a-week delivery network with broad geographic reach (approximately 30,000 locations and 168.6 million delivery points). The resolution honors USPS employees, celebrates 250 years of service, and invites the American public to participate in the celebration by writing letters, buying stamps, or recognizing postal workers. It does not create or fund new policy; rather, it expresses parliamentary sentiment and support.
