Once a president, always a president?

Asked by cschack (227points) June 6th, 2008

Just a random thought: I’ve noticed that former presidents all seem to be referred to as “mr president” or “president so-and-so” in interviews, even if they’ve been out of office for a long time. Is this the correct way to address them, or is it just an affectation? (And I realize they’re referred to as “former presidents” when being written about.)
