Ok, thanks. Thats a bummer though. That means I need a table for every
month/year combination. I was hoping to limit it to 12 tables.

Hi I have a master table and the inherited tables broken up by month.
/e.g. CONSTRAINT transactions_january_log_date_check CHECK
(date_part('month'::text, log_date) = 1::double precision);/
So transactions_master is the master table, and then transactions_january,
transactions_february, etc. I have the rules in place and an index on the
date field in each child table. Currently i only have data in the january
table. But when I query the master table.
/explain select * from transactions_master where log_tstamp='1/23/2016'
/
I see that it goes through all the tables. Should it be querying the january
table first? And not do the others once its comes across the data in
january?

tl;dr - constraint exclusion only works with IN, BETWEEN, =, <, <=, >, >=, <>
and only where values are immutable.
I ran into this when attempting to use <@ operators for my range partitioning
extension.
So date_part() won't work because constraint exclusion can't see into it.
You'll have better luck with something like CHECK(log_date >=
'2016-01-01'::timestamp and log_date < '2016-02-01'::timestamp)
