   @OliverNoble @thomasfuchs My understanding (not saying that makes it “correct”) is that it’s a cultural norm that president is a title you carry for life. Once you’ve been president, you forever hold that title.

     @thomasfuchs I think it's standard convention. The same is true for all former presidents.

     @thomasfuchs most of my US political knowledge comes from watching The West Wing and I'm sure I remember that ex-presidents retained the title. 🤔
