However, e.g. whitehouse.gov refers to "President Clinton" in its description (for the act of being born, not for his active role as president). https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/presidents/williamjclinton Where I live, Finland, a "President" is the official title for former presidents (there are now three alive) so I should actually address them as such. The current one is formally referred to as "President of the Republic". I can't really check how this is with Russia.

A friend of mine moved in next door to then President of Singapore. Even got visited on couple of Christmas dinners.

Neither of them new protocol for the ex-presidency thing and after President left office, upon mutual agreement neighbour now calls him "Uncle".
