Former presidents are also just ‘presidents’, even if they are not THE president. And they are ‘President’ if you are using it as a title and/or to precede their name. A teacher would say: “name all the presidents, Suzy.” Rather than, “name all the former presidents and the current one, Suzy.”

I could be sooooooooo wrong about this, but it feels right to me.
