Definition
否决 (fǒujué) means 'to veto' — it rejects a proposal or decision by exercising formal veto power, typically in a board, committee, or government body. 驳回 (bóhuí), by contrast, means 'to reject or overrule' in legal or official contexts, such as dismissing an appeal or application, and does not necessarily involve a veto power.
