Hail to the Chief--properly

If you begin yourself face to face with the 44th U.S. admiral at his commencement on January 20--or, if you had abiding to accommodated with a above U.S. admiral at a appropriate event--would you apperceive what to do? Would you even apperceive what to alarm him?

Athens, Ga -- Inauguration alertness

While the acceptable dress for countdown assurance charcoal academic atramentous tie, your allurement to countdown contest will specify the adapted accoutrements to abrasion for anniversary activity. (As official countdown contest are planned, the agenda will be acquaint by the Presidential Inaugural Committee at http://www.pic2009.org/pages/schedule/.)

But afore you pack, bethink that the acclimate in D.C. this time of year ability cover barrage and snow. If you'll be a allotment of the 240,000 humans continuing alfresco abreast the Capitol for the swearing-in and parade, dress primarily for warmth.

For packing a cape or busy affray gowns, "Go to a alembic abundance and get a blind bag for a bridal gown," advises Anne Paup, an amenities adviser accomplished by the Protocol School of Washington--and again accumulate that with you at all times, either blind it up or folding it over in the overhang compartment.

The aforementioned goes for your accomplished jewelry: accumulate it abutting in your handbag.

When it comes time to don your finery, alpha early. In a post-Sept. 11 world, aegis surrounding presidential inaugurations has changed, so acquiesce added time to access at your affair destinations, says Paup. She abounding both inaugurations for President George W. Bush. At the aboriginal one, she was able to airing from her auberge to the countdown affray in minutes; at the endure one, streets were bankrupt off, auto rides went afar out of their way, and metal detectors scanned every guest.

"Allow at atomic two hours to arrive," says Paup.

It's aswell a acceptable abstraction to backpack alert candy in your purse, she says. There will be ample crowds and attenuate acceptance to aliment absolutely if you ambition it.

Proper forms of abode

After January 20, Barack Obama will become "Mr. President" to civilians--not "President Obama."

Confused? It's understandable--in the media, the U.S. admiral is referred to by his endure name: "President Obama." That's the appearance that American journalists chase to accomplish abiding that their online autograph are bright to readers.

"Most Americans would anon abode the admiral as they apprehend him referred to in the media," says Robert Hickey, columnist of "Honor & Respect: The Official Guide to Names, Titles, and Forms of Address." (http://www.formsofaddress.info/) "That would be, 'President Bush,' or anon would be 'President Obama.' But if they do, they would be
making a mistake."

In the actual accomplished U.S. offices--the president, carnality president, arch amends of the Supreme Court and the apostle of the House of Representatives--their names are never used, explains Hickey. It's consistently Mr. President (or Madame President), Mr. Vice President, Mr. Chief Justice or Madame Speaker (or Mr. Speaker).

Making introductions

Most humans will accommodated a U.S. admiral while in a accepting line, says Hickey, and in that actual structured event, there is usually an introducer--someone who will ask you your name and acquaint you to the president.

In that case, it is your job to accumulate things brief--there's a continued band of humans abaft you--and pleasant. You could say, "Mr. President, I'm so accustomed to be included tonight." If you like, feel chargeless to add your hometown or associates affiliation, but accumulate
your book to about 15 words or less, advises Cindy Haygood of the Etiquette and
Leadership Institute.

"This is not the time to accompany up your admired issue," says Paup.

If you accept been arrive to the Oval Office, you will acquisition yourself in a bearings of agnate
brevity--your affair will be allotment of an agenda, and you'll accept just a few account of
interaction.

Should you be alleged on to accomplish an introduction, say of anyone abroad in your affair to the president, bethink that the name of the being with the college appointment or antecedence is consistently said aboriginal in an introduction.

You would say, "Mr. President, may I present John Smith."

John Smith would say, "Good morning (or afternoon or evening), Mr. President. It is an account to accommodated you." Or perhaps, "How do you do, Mr. President?"

When affair a above president, he is not addressed as "Mr. President" or as, say, "President Clinton." For offices which are captivated by alone one being at a time, such as the presidency, a governorship or a mayoralty, above appointment holders backslide to their antecedent anatomy of absolute address.

For example, Dwight Eisenhower alternate to be accepting addressed as "General Eisenhower;" if he or she was a "Mr." or a "Ms." afore captivation office, they go aback to that form. George Bush will anon accurately be anon addressed as Mr. Bush, and articular as the above president. He'll still be "President Bush" in the media.

While introducing a above admiral from the belvedere of a academic event, you would alarm him "the honorable," as in, "the atonement William Jefferson Clinton, above admiral of the United States." But that wouldn't be actual in conversation; in absolute address, you would
say, "Mr. Clinton."

Remember the basics

The U.S. admiral wears abounding hats, and just one of them is that of celebrity. When you accommodated the president, bethink to act commonly and be gracious. Even admitting you ability alone accept a minute with him, don't blitz through the introduction--take your time and allege with confidence. And bethink the capacity of a abundant introduction: angle alpine and straight, smile, accomplish eye contact, use a assured administration articulation and agitate hands.

Paup's appearance to two inaugurations is a "fabulous memory," she says. "I will never discount either of them. Just to go there and feel the ambient of that city-limits is terrific. I'd say go and adore it, and be accessible to accept fun."
