No - nobody can veto a release. But you also can't slip in a vetoed patch

hinted, the RM can withdraw a vote, which is sort of like a self-veto.
A finer, maybe obvious, point to this statement, there are minimum requirements
that must be adhered to.
That gets a bit confusing though. You can't release a work under
the GPL or BSD license from the ASF, that would be a board policy.
But then there are conventions, which if the majority of the project
don't feel are applicable [anymore] to this [particular] project, are
subject to change through a release vote.
For example, at httpd project, you cannot "retag", if we burn a release
rev number, we simply move on. Other projects are perfectly happy with
spinning RC numbers until they arrive at the perfect sequential .0, .1
.2 releases.
