Hello. We have a permittee for our lounge. Does the permittee overrule the president when it comes to making decisions?  

I don't think I fully understand what a "permittee" is in this context, but in any event, it seems to me the answer to this question will depend upon what your organization's rules say regarding the authority of these persons.

And also, what is a "lounge" in this context?

My experience with friends in the business leave me to believe that we're talking about a liquor bar where the holder of either the state liquor license or the local business license is not the same person as the president of the company. In my state, this sometimes happens because state law disqualifies the operator-in-fact from obtaining these licenses or permits.

Thank you. That makes sense to me.

If this is correct, in addition to the organization's rules on this matter, I think it would also be desirable for the organization to consult an attorney or a professional familiar with the details of such businesses. It certainly does not seem to be a parliamentary question.

I think it also could be some sort of fraternal organization that serves alcohol. But I agree that the issue is not one of parliamentary procedure.
