The / an

Dear Teachers,

1. That's not an appropriate way to address the American President.
2. That's not an appropriate way to address an American President.

My teacher says either is correct. The definite article ("the") means "that particular American President", the indefinite article "an" means any US President, period.

Is that correct?
