Notes on grammar/ writing style

Don't capitalize the office, just the person. For example:
the president, President Bush

Do capitalize specific places because they're proper nouns. For example: Congress, Supreme Court, White House

Do capitalize specifice political parties (the Republican party, the Green party, etc.)even though you wouldn't normally capitalize the words if they aren't in reference to a party (ie. The man in the green shirt expressed republican values.) :)

Lastly, it is considered un-academic & unprofessional to call a public figure by her/his first name. You should refer to a public figure by their last name.
