No- this is not an appropriate title for the US President. It suggests some sort of foreign royalty. John Adams may have hinted that he would like that title, so they called him "His Rotundity" behind his back.

Do you use His Excellency if the person writing is higher in position?
It depends on what country you are writing about. The term "your excellency" is not generally used in America except under certain formal conditions. If you are addressing a bishop of the Catholic or Episcopalian (Anglican) church, you would use it. If you are addressing an ambassador, he or she also is given this honorary title. But otherwise, it is not very common, since the United States does not have royal titles like "your highness" or "your majesty" and while "your excellency" may have been more common several hundred years ago, these days, even the president is not addressed in this way: most people would call him Mr. President. But if you are writing a formal letter in a country with a monarchy, or one that uses royal or ecclesiastical titles, or a country that has high-ranking members of the nobility, you may indeed use "your excellency" or "his (or her) excellency" to show respect, when you are addressing a person whose societal standing is much higher than yours. However, without knowing which country you are asking about, it is difficult to say much more.
