Mr. President
Commander in chief
Mr.
President is the formal address for the President of the United States, used when speaking directly to the officeholder: Mr. President, what is your response to these allegations?
The title applies regardless of the president's gender—though no woman has yet held the office.
The same form addresses presiding officers of deliberative bodies: Mr. President, I yield the floor.
