Why would Blossom call herself a queen?
Blossom calls herself a "queen" so as to make herself feel good and as a way to express her confidence. This is common slang to use to make yourself feel good or to make others feel good. Typically, "king" is intended for males. Ex: Yes, queen! You killed the performance. => "to kill [something"] is slang for "you did really well." Ex: You look like a king in that fit. => "fit" means "outfit"

Why did he say "mr" instead of "sir"? I think what's equivalent to "madam" which is used for the Vice President is "sir", no?
From my understanding, "Sir" used as a title in Britain means a "knight" or "baronet," so I assume the people who came up with the title "Mr. President" in the United States wanted to be respectful but didn't want it to be associated with a British knight's title. "Sir" these days is used more casually and still indicates respect towards a person. But in terms of titles, it wouldn't be appropriate for the USA's president. Ex: The Formula 1 driver, Lewis Hamilton, was knighted last year and is now a "Sir." Ex: Mr. President, would you like some coffee?
