Can a board have a President AND Chairman or does it have be either or?

See pp. 432-433 for a brief discussion.

The presiding officer of a society (i.e. organization, association) is usually called a president. The presiding officer of a board or committee is usually called a chairman (e.g. chairman of the board).

Regardless of the title, there is only one presiding officer at a time.

Can a board have a President AND Chairman or does it have be either or?

If you are asking if Robert's Rules contains a prohibition against such an arrangement, the answer is "No.".

You are free to draft bylaws, or to amend your bylaws, to add or subtract any number of officers, with any variety of titles.

Be aware that the word "chairman" has a specific parliamentary meaning.

If you alter the definition of "chairman" in your bylaws, a casual reader of your bylaws may confuse when the term refers to your specific office or officer, and when the term applies to the person acting as the presiding officer inside a meeting.

One example of a future problem:

A chairman pro tem, when/if the regular presiding officer is absent, might or might not have the powers your customized bylaws grant to the person carrying the title "Chairman."

Q. How shall you phrase your bylaws to draw such a distinction? Or, how shall you phrase your bylaws to confirm that those powers do transfer to the person holding the gavel?

The organization can put whatever officers it wants in the Bylaws, but this particular combination seems unusual. Some organizations do have a President (who presides over the general membership) and a Chairman of the board (who presides over the board), but this doesn't seem to be what you're getting at. A few organizations have the President serve in more of an executive role and give some other officer the duty of presiding, although in my experience this is more common in larger assemblies.
