President is his job.

Best I can tell, Sir is a title bestowed by the monarchy on people they like.

No, the recipients of knighthoods are not generally decided by the monarchy:

(Do you think the Queen was enthusiastic about knighting Elton John or Mick Jagger? https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-real-reason-que...)

Also, not all jobs come with an associated title. I'm a software engineer, but people don't refer to me as Software Engineer Joe Bloggs. "President" absolutely is used as a title. This is especially clear with former presidents, who retain the title. (E.g. George Bush, who isn't president, is still President Bush.)

According to Wikipedia:

> all living former U.S. Presidents continue to be addressed as "Mr. President"

President isn't Obama's job any more. Sadly.

Knighthood isn't bestowed on people the monarchy likes, it's given to citizens who contribute greatly and above expectations to England's civilian, military, and peacetime achievements.
