The bylaws govern the board and president rights and responsibilities. It is important to have the bylaws approved so everyone understands how the organization should operate. The bylaws will determine board members terms and how to remove a board member or president. Currently, the rights are set by whichever person/group that holds more than 50 percent of the shares.
