Little risk of this situation, a doctorate would be like the kiss of death in politics, cus you know they are all elitists, you have better luck eating pork rinds and telling folks the lies they demand to hear, ie - god loves them the most, et cetera.

No. First off, because "dr" is a title. And "president" is a title. You only use one title when addressing a person. Besides the point, most presidents start out as lawyers and they generally have a Ph.D. Anyway

Example: do you call (is it proper to call) people the following?

Mr prof Mrs ms (name) Mrs teacher Mr doctor

Etc. point is, you only use one title
