Should "President of Mexico" Be Capitalized? Yes—It's a Proper Title
Yes. "President of Mexico" is a proper noun phrase—a formal title referring to a specific office—so it follows standard capitalization rules:
- Capitalize each major word: President of Mexico
- Same as: President Biden, Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister of Canada, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
When Not to Capitalize
Use lowercase when referring to the role generically:
- "The president of Mexico serves a six-year term."
- "She wants to become president of Mexico someday."
Rule of thumb: Capitalize when used as a title before a name or as a formal office name; lowercase when used descriptively.
