It's a bit odd, but if you are a politician, after you are out of the office, your title follows you. Such as, Senator So and So. You could be out of office decades but the title is what people use instead of Mr. or Mrs. when announcing the person.
And if, say, you had a number of jobs in politics, senator and congressman, the one with higher value is the title used. Or if the titles are about the same value, the latest title is used. So for Hillary Clinton there are 3 titles; First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State.
It's a bit weird in the real world to have your job title follow you around. I'm not introduced as Rigger Brad. Or there's not IT Larry. Or Walmart Greeter Bud. But in politics the title is everything. Also in politics, once you are out you sort of stay in. There's lobbying and public speaking to do. Which pays much better than working at Walmart.
