I know that anyone with a PhD, or MD would probably be intelligent enough not to be a politician, but I would like to know what their address would be. The rules of etiquette would dictate that they not be called "Mr. President", but the term "Dr. President" sounds odd. What do you think that they would be called?

Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee is a Dr. but I wouldn't put a lot of stock into him, lol. He stated AIDS could possibly spread by kissing. So not so sure about the intelligent part.
He is just Senator Frist.
As for president they would still be known as President.
Technically they are changing occupations from Dr. to President. They of course still have their degrees so the would still be a licensed MD, but they would not be practicing so they wouldnt' actually be an MD.

It matters not what their education is, what matters is that they preserve the protocol. they would be addressed as Mr. President.. by the way my definition of a PHD is Poor Hapless Dumb A _ _. Of all the PHDs I have known, that definition is perfect. An MD? we have an MD serving as a senator.. he is adressed as Senator, not Doctor..

Well, there is at least one senator who is a MD, and I believe he just goes by Senator ____. Political rank would be utilized when in politics. If they went home to visit, their neighbors would probably just call them Dr. ____.

Doctor attaches to their personal name. Mister attaches to the job title.
I just wonder, if Hillary did get elected, is she Ms. President? Mrs. President? Madame President (like Madame Speaker)?

President would be the designation because it has more prestige and is more rare.
