preemptions
Acts of superseding
Preemptions are acts of taking precedence or seizing something before others can.
In broadcasting, a preemption occurs when scheduled programming is replaced by something deemed more urgent: The president's address caused preemptions across all networks.
In law and politics, preemption refers to a higher authority overriding a lower one: Federal preemptions of state regulations.
