No, the president does not have that authority.

I looked it up in the meantime, apparently it's standard Republican Senate fuckery if someone else is reading this.

The Postmaster General gets elected by the nine-member Board of Governors, that the President selects and the Senate confirms the members of. Obama nominated at least five people, the Senate confirmed none of them, and since terms were for seven years, the Board lost quorum, and delegated its powers to a Temporary Emergency Committee.

After Trump got elected, he nominated and the Senate confirmed eight people over his term. This gave the board a 5 member Republican majority, the legal maximum, but the Dem minority was also somewhat made up of Trump appointees.

Biden so far could appoint two people with Senate confirmation. Replacing DeJoy needs five.
