Ms. President

Woman holding office

Ms.

President is a formal address for a female president, combining the standard feminine title with the office.

It parallels Mr.

President and appears in direct address: Ms. President, the committee is ready for you.

The form acknowledges both gender and position, though some prefer the gender-neutral Madam President.
