pushover

Easily swayed person

A pushover is someone easily persuaded, defeated, or taken advantage of—a person who can't say no or won't put up resistance: He's such a pushover; the kids get whatever they want.

The word also describes any task that presents no real challenge: The exam was a pushover.
