Do they address him as "Mr. President" (which I assume is the case), or is there a seperate military rank that he holds like 'Commander and Chief'? Thanks, it's for a novel, and I really have no idea, and couldn't find the answer.

Mr / Ms. President
Sir

calling him 'my brotha from anotha mutha' probably isn't

Mr. President. It is America's policy that the civilian government remains superior to the Military. The President, a civilian, is Commander-in-Chief. President of the United States is the highest rank and title in the land.

The President is the highest ranking member of the US Armed forces- all services including the Coast Guard - and any military person will address him as Sir and her as ma'am.

If you are under Arms( which means you are packing heat ) you render a hand salute or rifle salute and address him as MR. President Sir.

in speaking;
Sir
Mr. President
President Jones
The President is entitled to a military salute as if he were (and he is) the highest ranking military officer.

Mr President always, but generally "sir". If Hillary wins it will be ma'am

I think that "Mr. President" is always correct, and so is "Sir" which is the way a subordinate may address a senior officer.
