I’m part of a sports organization who’s president is abusing power and constantly working the grey areas of our horribly vague Bylaws. Several of us want to vote him out, but we have no proper explanation of this in our bylaws. We have voted others out in the past by majority, but this one will go down with a fight using everything possible to stay. - If making a motion to vote out the president, does the president get a vote for themself? - If there is cause against their actions/character, does anything protect them? - Are there any solid full-proof guidelines to ensure this process works?

Our organization has no rules for membership. If you pay the yearly fee, you are deemed to be a member. Recently, however, the President and Vice-President of our organization wanted to deny membership renewal to a long-time member. Their tactic: if she tried to pay in person, the cheque would be refused; If she mailed her cheque to the President, he would not cash it or he would return it to her on the grounds that the organizations name was incorrectly stated; the amount was incorrect, etc. He then told the individual that membership could be granted if she were to meet with the Vice-President who would tell her what she needed to do to have her membership renewed. Obviously, this is infra dig but, in the absence of rules, how should the organization have proceeded?
