I'm not an expert, but he is called that all the
time, so I did too. If anyone knows a specific
rule of etiquette on this, let me know, please.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The refering to former Presidents as President X is an invention of modern
media.
What gets my goat is when they refer to Senetors and Congressmen.
The term Congress refers to both legeslative bodies togeather, so the term
Congressman would refer to members of both.
The proper reference would be to Senetors and Representatives.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

...is it still appropriate to call an ex
president by that
title?
No. The explanation I heard is that there is only one
President. On the other hand there are multiple governors and senators, so
former holders of those offices still go by their titles.
So you'd call
him Governor Clinton. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Per the site shown below (can't seem to get clickable link to work), Mr/Ms
President is not correct usage for former holders of the office.
