Q: I a NPO voting member I cannot find the article of in coproduction of this NPO online. Is AoC written by the founder

A: Here are a couple ways to find a copy of the articles of incorporation. The most direct method is to demand to see them. Under California's nonprofit law, the organization is required to show them to you as a member. If there is a "principal office," they have to keep a copy at the office and make it "open to inspection" by members "at all reasonable times during office hours." If the organization does not have an office, it shall "upon the written request of any member" give the member a written copy of the articles and bylaws. You also mentioned in the prior question that the organization is a 501(c)(3). If that is the case, the organization is also required to make certain IRS documents available for public inspection. Those documents include the form that was submitted to get tax-exempt status (Form 1023) and the federal Form 990s that they have filed in prior years. I mention that fact because if you look at a copy of those IRS forms, they will include the federal tax ID number. Once you have the tax ID number, you can try searching the California secretary of state's website again. But, to be honest, given what you have described so far, I doubt that the board has been diligently sending in these forms. And yes, you're right that there is also a chance that the organization never filed articles of incorporation.

On your question about whether the president can refuse to honor the vote of the members removing her from office, probably not. I'm assuming that the organization is, in fact, a nonprofit corporation and that the members followed the rules about holding the vote. Even if the bylaws claim to give her some right to serve even if voted out, that provision is probably not valid.

Yes, the members can still call for elections. You have to follow certain procedures when calling for an election, but the bylaws cannot remove or diminish the members' rights to voting.
