No — there's no mail delivery on Presidents Day, and post offices are closed.
Presidents Day (officially Washington's Birthday, the third Monday in February) is a federal holiday, so USPS takes it: no delivery, no window service, no collection pickups. Mail resumes Tuesday.
Because it always falls on a Monday, there's no weekend shuffle to work out — the holiday and the day without mail are the same day, every year.
