No, don't change is to was. He IS and WILL ALWAYS BE the THIRTY-EIGHT president of the US. You can't change his thirty-eightness.
He's the 35th, by the way.
So the sentence is correct.

It was correct up untill he was shot, that is to say, if it is in a newspaper or printed material from a time before he was killed, then yes it is grammatically correct.
This day, this time one would use the Past Tense, or was the 38th President.

Since he is dead, most would say "was". However, it is correct to say, "Bill Clinton is the 42nd President of the US". And yes, he was the 35th, not the 38th.

Correct grammar. No one can replace him as the 38th (or 35th), he will always be the 3?th. So "is" is correct.

Depends. Would I be reading it from a book written in 1962 or 2006? m

Assuming it is factually correct (I'm not a student of American political history), "is" should be "was".

Sure. However, it is factually incorrect. He is the thirty fifth.
