Marylin Monroe

Marilyn Monroe put a sultry tone to the phrase upon singing "Happy Brithday" to President John F. Kennedy. In context, the phrase "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" is associated with her attraction to President Kennedy, and a broader reference to the sexual appeal of the power of office

This needs to be explained because it isn't clear how you arrive at that conclusion nor is it sourced so we can't know if it is original research. EconomicsGuy^{Return the fire!} 05:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proper Address for Former Presidents

According to Miss Manners, the proper way to address a former President is by the office he previously held before the presidency.

The rule is that there is only one president of the United States at a time; therefore, the title does not accompany anyone out of office. Many lesser titles do, however, so a former president generally uses his last such title. The proper address is Senator Nixon, as it is Governor Reagan and Governor Carter.

However, as this is etiquette and not a rule, can/should it be included in the article? Lovellama (talk) 03:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This paragraph is of no use whatsoever

In the U.S., the title is reserved for the current President and should not be used for former Presidents. Although when addressing a former president, it is proper to use the title in an honorary sense.[8][9][10] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.225.174 (talk) 10:44, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exceptions

Reagan also addressed Carter with the title in his inaugural address, even though Carter ceased being the incumbent president seconds earlier, so the article reads that this may have exceptions, not sure if it is worth mentioning, though. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 23:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
