SELECT your-timestamp-value::date

or, more standard,
SELECT CAST(your-timestamp-value AS date)

You have at least two choices:

select current_timestamp::date;

will give you the date in the default date format.

select to_char(current_timestamp,'mm/dd/yy');

gives you control over the formatting.
