depends. normally "former president X", but if they have been impeached then you say "IMPEACHED former president X" unless they lost the popular vote then its "UNPOPULAR IMPEACHED former president X" unless they lost an election like a one termer then its "ONE TERM LOSER UNPOPULAR IMPEACHED former president X". Its important to be accurate.

We may soon be able to tack CONVICTED FELON onto that list.

If it's too unwieldy after that, perhaps just use their prisoner ID number.

I like "Two time popular vote loser"

Going for the three-peat!

Too long. Loser or inmate # are appropriate.
