veto power

veto power
Danh từ

This term describes a specific legal mechanism of absolute or conditional rejection. It carries a connotation of high-level authority and unilateral control, often associated with executive branches of government or dominant members of a committee. While "veto" can be used as a verb, "veto power" as a noun phrase emphasizes the possession of the right rather than the act of rejecting.

In political discourse, the term is frequently used to discuss the balance of power. It implies a defensive or obstructive capability, where a single entity can nullify the collective will of a larger group, making it a central concept in discussions regarding democratic checks and balances.
