The idea and practice of carrying over so called royal titles after service doesn’t increase my feelings or opinions of such individuals. Gives me the impression the person is/was good and worthy for all times. Certainly not true for so many who have done poorly and even evil while holding such title. For me once out of title/office no more public honor puffing.
I quite agree. But that’s not standard protocol, and ex-presidents are frequently addressed for the rest of their lives as “Mr. President,” despite this not being technically correct.
If I were an ex-president, I would take enormous pride in returning to being just plain Mr. Logan. That is the essence of republicanism.
