vetoable

Subject to rejection

Vetoable describes something that can be rejected or blocked by an authority with veto power.

A vetoable bill can be struck down by the president or governor.

The word appears mainly in political and legal contexts: The provision is vetoable by the mayor.

Rarely, it describes any decision subject to override: All my plans are vetoable by my wife.
