Do you possibly mean "amendatory veto"? That is a power given by some governments (a few US states allow it to the governor, for example) to the chief executive to make specific changes to a bill and return it to the legislative branch. It amounts to a more formalized version of the executive saying "I won't sign this bill as is, but I will sign it if you make these specific changes." The legislature then decides whether to accept the changes (usually by simple majority vote), or reject the changes and attempt to override the veto (usually by whatever majority is normally required to override a veto). If they accept the changes, the modified bill becomes law. If they override the veto, the original bill becomes law. If they do neither, the bill dies.
