If you guys are going to debate on the BB what something says or doesn't say it would be nice if you provided a link so the rest of us could follow along.
Doing my own research for non-profit corporations in the Ditrict of Columbia I came across https://code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/titles/29/chapters/4/subchapters/I...
§ 29–404.21. Termination and suspension.
(a)A membership in a membership corporation may be terminated or suspended for the reasons and in the manner provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws.
(b)A proceeding challenging a termination or suspension for any reason shall be commenced within one year after the effective date of the termination or suspension.
(c)The termination or suspension of a member shall not relieve the member from any obligations incurred or commitments made prior to the termination or suspension.
Seems clear it is possible to remove a member.
Now if what I have found does not apply then again tell me what you two are looking at.
Thanks Kevin WA7FWF #19623

Robert,
Sorry, my error on the citation, In the latest version of the Articles, see Article Fifth, Paragraph A. If the membership application is in the proper form and the dues are paid, the board and the secretary have no authority to reject it. Nor does the board have authority to expel a member.
