    with total respect.
    When addressing a former President of the United States in a formal setting, the correct form is “Mr. LastName.” (“President LastName” or “Mr. President” are terms reserved for the current head of state.) This is true for other ex-officials, as well.
    I've always heard "Mr. President" no former,out of respect.Sounds right to me.

    Yup, they never loss the title.
    The same as Mr. Clinton, Former President......
    as Mr. Clinton, or Mr. Bush, b/c they're NOT our president anymore.

    They never loss the title. They may still be addressed as President So and So.
