See also: Post Office Act (disambiguation).
The Post Office Act (enacted June 8, 1872) formally incorporated the United States Post Office Department into the Cabinet of the United States. It is also notable for ยง148 which made it illegal to send any obscene or disloyal materials through the mail, to be the foundation of the later Comstock Act of 1873.[1]
