I think it's pronounced "Madam President"

Was wondering earlier, why not just President? Why add the "madam"?

As opposed to "Mr President" which seems common enough

It's just a slightly more formal sounding title. This answer on stackexchange goes through some of the history on why alternatives aren't used.
