It is etiquette to refer to a person by their highest ranking achieved. President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, and President Obama are still appropriate ways to refer to those men, as well (with the exception of that whole Deep State thing).
Au contraire. There are titles held while in office that are relinquished when one leaves the office "President" is one such title. This applies to titles that are unique.
One can be the Former President Teddy Roosevelt, Past President Hoover, or the former Ambassador to the Court of St. James.
They started calling past Presidents by their acting titles after Clinton and it is...skeevey. Believe me, Mr. Jefferson is rolling in his grave.
