An electoral mandate is a perception that a president has a strong mandate from the public to carry out their policies due to a decisive victory in an election. It implies that the public strongly supports both the character and policies of the president. A landslide is a term used to describe an election where one candidate wins by a large margin, but it does not necessarily indicate support for the president's policies or character. A confidence vote is a parliamentary procedure used to determine if a government still has the support of the legislature. A veto and pocket veto are both executive powers used to reject legislation passed by the legislature.
