Asking just in the context of a mention or reference in text, not directly addressing the president? Any source for the protocol would be appreciated as well

Generally, in text, "President So-and-so" would be the most common usage, but I would expect it to be interspersed with "Mr." references, just for variety's sake. Of course, given the tone of the popular media toward the current president, you'll see a lot more "Mr.'s," as many of these "jounralists" wish to emphasize that George W. Bush "is not their president."

In referencing the president you would say President So & So..
This holds true for former presidents as well. You do not reference 'Bill Clinton' you say "Former president Bill Clinton". That is his title that he earned for serving our country.
If you are addressing the president directly you say "Mr. President" if you are addressing a letter you put "President Bush, or President & Mrs Bush"
If the president is a lady, you would address the letter to President & Mr X.

Just writing about him/her in text, it would be "the President." Addressing him/her directly, it would be "Mr/Madam President."
