Hot spot
The Yellowstone caldera is associated with a hot spot, not a plate boundary.
Yellowstone is not associated with a plate boundary. It is associated with a hot spot.
It is not on a plate boundary, but rather on a hot spot (like Hawaii is).
Yellowstone is situated within a tectonic plate, not at a plate boundary! Volcanic activity is thought to be as a result of a mantle plume, much like the volcanism that created the Hawaiian Island chain.
Yellowstone is not on a plate boundary, but is a 'hotspot' where magma seeps from the mantle to the surface, or near the surface. The case is the same for Hawaii.
The Yellowstone volcano is well withing the boundaries of the North American plate. It formed over a hot spot rather than a plate boundary.

Yes, because it is not a plate boundary...and Wikipedia said it is. Jim
Yellowstone is located on the North American plate, but it is nowhere the plate boundary. It is located over a geological "hot spot" and continues to have volcanic activity of one sort or another.
Yellowstone is in the middle of the North American Plate, not at a boundary between plates. The geothermal activity in Yellowstone is due to its being on top of a vigorous hot spot that is powering a very large mid-plate volcano.

the plate boundary at the mount is a colliding plate boundary
