In response to "The convention of calling ex Presidents, “Mr President”, is interesting. It imparts a current veneer of unwarranted authority and seems excessively " by Loyola

I still recall the example (Strunk & White?) regarding the scenario of multiple ex-presidents in one place and what term of address to use

to distinguish between them if you needed to, say, call to them from across the room.

I believe the guidance was to use whatever title each person had before becoming president.
