I would have to know what you mean by “censure” and also the facts and circumstances leading to the Board President’s actions to comment (don’t send them, legal advice would be required and a consultation would be needed). A Board President is often given fairly broad powers by the Board and the Bylaws and to comment on a set of facts that may have more to them than meets the “eye” would be irresponsible.

Can the Board President be censured by the Board for reckless and negligent misuse of HOA funds for legal services – especially for cases in which he directly violated a Board-approved mandate not to engage the HOA attorney without prior Board approval?

A “Director at Large” would have the same voting rights as other directors. Otherwise, I do not know whether you are suggesting a “Member at Large” is on the board, or not.
