The Constitution forbids it.

That's not true. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 7 says, "The Congress shall have power...To establish Post Offices and post roads." Basically, it means that Congress has an enumerated power to establish routes and sites. Congress has historically delegated that power to the Post Master General to run the US Post Office as CEO. Congress can do whatever it wants related to the Post Office, including privatizing it. Nothing in the Constitution prohibits this. The key thing the Supreme Court has ruled on is that the Congress can't use their power of Post Offices and roads to overrule our First Amendment rights. en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
