Your answer depends on the contents of your governing documents and the state law that governs not only the association, but the form of the corporation that your association fits within, such as the non-profit corporate law.
Generally, the president doesn't vote unless it is to break a tie. However, different associations and different state laws may not agree on this point. Unless specifically forbidden, a president may be able to make a motion, although best practices of good leadership indicate that motions be made by other board members.
Also, generally, board meetings are conducted following Roberts Rules of Order. You can find a quick reference to motions, below.
Finally, motions exhibit decisions for actions. Motions require a percentage of votes, either of the ownership or of the board, regardless of who makes them, or how the president votes.
If you believe that your president has abused her/his power by making a motion and voting on the motion in such a way so as to have violated your governing documents or state law(s), you can formally protest the motion and require further discussion on it. You can also request that the protest be noted in the minutes.
You may fail in your protest, but your protest can be noted in the minutes. Since the minutes are historical documents of the business of the corporation, they become legal evidence.

What do you say to motion at a meeting?
First you need to have standing (permission) to rise and speak, let alone make a motion at a meeting. For example, at a public meeting of a planning commission, only the commissioners can make a motion, although the chairperson of the meeting may (at his or her discretion) recognize a member of the public provide input on an issue prior to taking a vote. A recognized member (or alternate voting delegate) may make a motion, at the proper time, by simply saying, "I would like to make the following motion", and then continuing with his or her idea. Many times it is less formal, such as "I move that we accept the minutes as read", or "I make a motion that we suspend the rules and waive the reading of the treasurer's report." The chairperson may immediately rule you "out of order" for a number of reasons, and ask you to sit down and be quiet. At the proper time, you may again attempt to make a motion. After that, there is typically a "second" to the motion, or (if no second) a very uncomfortable pause while the motion fails to even elicit support of one other member (it is very embarrassing when this happens, and sometimes results in immediate resignation by the member whose motion was not seconded). Once the motion has been seconded, the chairperson can ask for any discussion, which may include a motion to amend the primary motion, or a motion to withdraw (or suspend action upon) the primary motion, among other things. Eventually, any motion not tabled or withdrawn must be voted upon, or the meeting suspended (adjourned) until further information can be obtained by those who wish to continue discussing it before voting...

Can a quorum of the condo board have a budget committee meeting and not make it a regular posted board meeting?
Committee meetings and board meetings serve two different, though related purposes. The short answer is 'yes', a committee meeting is not a regular posted board meeting. Committee meetings are working meetings where there is no vote, only a discussion of options, presentation of research results. Usually one board member leads a committee and the remaining participants can be owners/ non-board members. Committees present their conclusions and recommendations to the board at board meetings. No minutes are required. Board meetings, unless they are executive or confidential meetings, are generally open for attendance by all members. Your governing documents specify the attendance, notification, agenda and minutes process for open board meetings.

What is the difference in Liability for an advisory board member vs a statutory board member?
Advisory board members do not usually have authority to make decisions or governing responsibilities and, as such, should have no liability. "Statutory members" is not a phrase with which I am familiar but if it refers to governing board members, they do have authority to make decisions and can be held liable.
How can I find out who the board members of my home owners association are?
As an owner, your board is obligated to make certain documents available to you on a regular basis. For example, board meeting minutes, your governing documents and any updates to them, certain financial records and so forth. Your association is a business and its officers are listed with the secretary of state in your state. You can start by contacting the property management company -- usually, the organization that processes your assessments -- and requesting access to these documents. The current board members are all listed in the latest board meeting minutes.
