Wikipedia definition
2. VetoA veto, Latin for "I forbid", is the power of an officer of the state to unilaterally stop an official action, especially enactment of a piece of legislation. In practice, the veto can be absolute, as for instance in the United Nations Security Council, whose permanent members can block any resolution. Or, it can be limited, as in the legislative process of the United States, where a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate may override a Presidential veto of legislation.
