If one is removed from office, it seems logical that one is no longer entitled to be referred to by the title of that office.

This would be breaking new ground, since we've never had this situation in the past. I think that if one is stripped of office then one is also stripped of title for that office. It would be like identity theft to continue claiming the title for something you've been stripped of. That just makes common sense. Previous Presidents are referred to as President out of honor and respect. A pResident who gets removed from office for high crimes and misdemeanors should not be entitled to either.
