I declare the answer is authority by my executive prerogative :)

The term for the power to make final decisions is "authority." Authority is the legitimate power or right to exercise control, command, or make final judgments in a particular setting or organization. It can be vested in individuals, such as leaders or decision-makers, or held collectively by a body or institution.
