Neither.

We say the title and name together: "President George Washington fought in the Revolutionary War", as opposed to "President, George Washington, fought in the Revolutionary War".

To make it an appositive it would need to read: " A president, George Washington, fought in the Revolutionay War". Because then it is reiterating "A president" but isnt necessary for completion of the idea.
