Veto may not be the technical term used inside the beltway to describe the Supreme Court striking down unconstitutional portions of laws but it fits the American English definition of the word. ve•to \"vE-tO\ n, pl vetoes [L, I forbid] 1 : an authoritative prohibition 2 : <v>a power of one part of a government to forbid the carrying out of projects attempted by another part But I'm still curious why our system lets the Court review laws piece by piece but the Executive has to take it all or nothing.
