No, "emeritus" is very close, but I think it's something different.

ex officio, maybe?

There is no one single Latin word for one who once was president but no longer is. The closest you can get is "ex-president".
"former president" works as well as "past president".
"previous president" also works, but only as "the president immediately before the current/present president".
"president emeritus" is not used to refer to a former president of the U.S. It is used for someone who served as the president of a college/business, is retired "honorably" from the position, and was bestowed the title "emeritus" in appreciation/honor of the great job he/she did.

As far as I know it doesn't include Latin.
I've always heard call this kind of person with the English term "Past-President"
