From here on out, I am going to call President Bush HIS EXCELLENCY!!!

It has a certain je ne se quoi. I think it fits him, don't you??

No, no, HIS WORSHIP or HIS HIGHNESS is more descriptive.

Maybe "His Excellency" has a nice ring to it. But remember that OTHER GW.
When the Presidency was established, the title with which one addresses the President was hotly debated.
Washington did not want an honorific reminiscent of royalty or nobility.
He got his way, and from that day the President has had no title other than "Mr. President".
I know President Bush would decide the same way, given the same choice.

Still, he IS excellent, isn't he?

Je ne se quoi? or Je ne sais quoi? Se is Spanish. But my French is buried deep and if I try to find it, it comes out Spanish. So I'm not sure anymore.
