Actually, it is proper to refer to all ex-holders of office by their previous title.  So you would still call Mr. Clinton "President Clinton" even though he no longer holds the office.

Thank you Mr. Chief Justice. It is customary to refer to a ex-President as Mr. President still. Its common curosity, something that you obviously lack. (oh snap, just kidding) Anyone this is a voting thread,  lets stop making unvoting posts.
