When and why did people start referring to the President of the US as the POTUS?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37346points) May 26th, 2011

It seems that I woke up one morning, and everyone was using POTUS to refer to the president. I was bewildered at first and had to ask someone what it meant.

When did this start?

Personally, I don’t like it. It’s the president we’re talking about, after all. It doesn’t take that much time to type it out.
