How to Address the President

Until you can whistle "Hail to the Chief" with any degree of ease, prepare to greet the president of the United States with a handshake.




Step1
Stand when you hear "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the U.S. national anthem), which is always played at the occasion of the president's appearance.


Step2
Rise when the president enters the room, if you are not already standing.


Step3
Address the president as Mr. President or Ms. President when speaking to him or her.


Step4
Address all correspondence to The President of the United States of America, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, 20500.


Step5
Say "the president" or "the president of the United States" when introducing the president to others.


Step6
Put out your right hand and shake his or her proffered one.
