- Doctor_Fegg 7y agoAccording to Wikipedia: > all living former U.S. Presidents continue to be addressed as "Mr. President" President isn't Obama's job any more. Sadly.
- wyclif 7y agoKnighthood isn't bestowed on people the monarchy likes, it's given to citizens who contribute greatly and above expectations to England's civilian, military, and peacetime achievements.
- foldr 7y agoNo, the recipients of knighthoods are not generally decided by the monarchy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honours_Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honours_Committee (Do you think the Queen was enthusiastic about knighting Elton John or Mick Jagger? https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-real-reason-queen-elizabeth-ii-refused-to-personally-knight-mick-jagger.html/ https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-real-reason-que...) Also, not all jobs come with an associated title. I'm a software engineer, but people don't refer to me as Software Engineer Joe Bloggs. "President" absolutely is used as a title. This is especially clear with former presidents, who retain the title. (E.g. George Bush, who isn't president, is still President Bush.)
