A precedent is a legal example that describes a rule for future events

The plural is "precedents."

Not precedence. That word has to do with the priority or relative importance of things. Generals take precedence over colonels.

Not presidents (I have seen this).

Not presence.

I thought that Donald J. Trump was the precedent, and Mike Pence is the vise precedent.

If you are driving too fast on a wet road and you are about to slide into a bus, the swear words you say will precede the dent.

My father received correspondents ☺from a law office that was addressed to Kernel XXXXX. The salutation in the letter was the same as were several mentions in the body of the letter. He proceeded to mark it up with a red pen and send it back to the office, addressed to the principal partner, personal and confidential.
