Let's be real about this. I can count on one hand the amount of people I have seen wear a mask at our OUTDOOR mail centers in the last month.

Government property is in fact public property and freely open to the public. Government property can identify physical areas within its property as restricted. (Like inside the postal building that contains access to the mail slots). The open access area is subject to law and not to policy. So, if the president changes the "law", we become subject to that law.

It really is a simple to avoid people at the mail center.
I CAN live with that compromise.

President's do not change laws. They sign or veto them as passed by Congress.

I have NEVER worn a mask to pick up my mail. I simply maintain my distance, waiting my turn if anyone is near my mailbox. I have no intention of wearing a mask because someone "thinks" that the president mandated it, illegally I might add. The executive branch does not make law, they enforce existing laws. If a store mandates mask wearing, then that is fine. If a bank says NO masks, that is fine with me also. I do not have to go inside if I do not feel safe, or I can wait until I can distance myself. Apparently, common sense has been overwhelmed by mass hysteria here.
If you live in fear, there is absolutely no one that will deny your right to wear a mask. Like I have said many times before, your safety is up to you, not anyone else.

Well, "executives" past and current ALL seem to have no problem changing and making laws (ie. executive orders) and if those laws were unconstitutional one would think someone would have challenged them. Even governors do that.

https://www.phe.gov/s3/law/Pages/ExecOrders.aspx

Executive Orders state mandatory requirements for the Executive Branch, and have the effect of law. ... They are issued in relation to a law passed by Congress or based on powers granted to the President in the Constitution and must be consistent with those authorities.

An executive order, no matter how much you love it, is still not a law. Simple concept.

It shouldn't be a choice indoors. And it would be a much better country if there was more of a sense of the common good.

As for whether or not you SHOULD wear a mask when getting your mail, if you are outside and distanced from anyone else, use your common sense.
Not unconstitutional and he has been a superb role model for mask-wearing!! Have you b been on another planet for the last year?

He's likely been on this planet but watching the wrong channel.

Hmm, for the past 4 years it sure seemed so but I guess something might have recently changed.

I wholeheartedly agree that there should be no choice when it comes to wearing masks indoors. INDOORS is when it is most important, especially when social distancing is not guaranteed. Our discussion has been about wearing masks OUTDOORS at the mail centers.
