Hi, TS,

Only #2, but president shouldn’t be capitalized there. (I’m treating it as a normal sentence, not a headline, which is usually a fragment in all capital letters.)

Hi, AG,
Then if it is a headline it should be:
The New President Will Follow The Old President’s Footsteps. Right?

I haven’t seen many headlines capitalized like this. In my experience, most of them are in all capital letters, and some are capitalized like normal sentences.
