In 1971, the Post Office Department was re-organized into the United States Postal Service, an independent agency of the executive branch. Therefore, the Postmaster General is no longer a member of the Cabinet and is no longer in Presidential succession.
The Postmaster General is the second-highest paid U.S. government official, based on publicly available salary information, after the US President.[1]
