Original Note:
When talking about a former president to a 3rd person, it’s correct to say, “former President LastName.” This holds for introductions, as well: A current state governor is introduced as “Governor Tom Smith,” while you’d introduce an ex-governor as “former Governor Jim Bell.” https://emilypost.com/advice/addressing-a-former-president-of-the-united-states https://uk.usembassy.gov/our-relationship/contacting-former-presidents/
