They're not supposed to have honorifics in the US. But then they end up
referring to ex-politicians by their last-held title, e.g. living ex-
Presidents continue to be titled as "President".

Which is something that changed in my lifetime.  Before Reagan, ex-Presidents
were addressed by the highest non-presidential title they held, or simply "Mr."
