My question involves a condominium located in the State of: MA
Is there a good definition out there of what the rights, responsibilities and purview is of a condominium president/manager in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?

Yes.
It's called Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), a copy of which you got, or should have got, when you bought your home. There may also be a set of by-laws with it.
After you get through reading and understanding all that you are welcome to study the MA condominium statute:

If you want any more help here, you'll need to explain what this president/manager is doing or not doing that riles you.
And if this has anything to do with your other post you should have just added this question to it.
Thanks.
I have read both the condo docs you mention - perhaps I ought to re-read them as my reading may have been too cursory - as well as the law you cite - and yes, perhaps I ought to re-read that too. However, I must say that I failed to see anything in it that I could see as the definition I am asking for. I must say that I did some general searches on the subject and in some jurisdictions it seems to be defined quite well. Perhaps here in MA too - and I just overlooked it.
As with our current president - can't say there is any one thing that riles me and there is nothing I have against her on a personal level but I just don't think she is qualified. And I hate saying things like this, and I am not saying this lightly here but I do tend to believe that someone who fails at basic math (e.g., unable to calculate, say, a proportional share of payment to be shared between 3 units as 30%, 42% and 28%) or believes that a statement in an email message is equivalent to a binding contract or by all indications refuses to even read relevant legal documents does not quite cut it for the job. And if I had some legal document to back this assertion up that may help. I mean something definitive enough where it would say "you ought to do X" - and she clearly is not doing X, not even close.
Thanks for your input, adjusterjack!
Yes, it looks like I won't sadly.
And yes, your solution would work in a rational world; in this world, however, we have the situation where the president and a friend/neighbor of hers in the condominium have over 50% in our 4-unit condominium and thus is unlikely to be democratically reelected any time soon.
