A quick definition of qualified veto:

Qualified Veto: A qualified veto is a type of veto where a person or group has the power to reject a decision, but only under certain conditions or circumstances. This means that they cannot simply say "no" to a decision, but must provide a specific reason or justification for their rejection. It is similar to a regular veto, but with additional requirements for its use.

A more thorough explanation:

A qualified veto is a type of veto where the person with veto power can only reject a decision under certain conditions. This means that the veto power is limited and cannot be used arbitrarily.

For example, in the United States, the President has a qualified veto power over legislation passed by Congress. The President can veto a bill, but Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Another example of a qualified veto is in the United Nations Security Council. Any of the five permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) can veto a resolution, but only if they believe it is a threat to international peace and security.

These examples illustrate how a qualified veto works by showing that the veto power is not absolute and can only be used under certain circumstances. This helps to prevent abuse of power and ensures that decisions are made through a fair and democratic process.
