1. blank check

   A blank cheque in the literal sense is a cheque that has no monetary value written in, but is already signed. In the figurative sense, it is used to describe a situation in which an agreement has been made that is open-ended or vague, and therefore subject to abuse, or in which a party is willing to consider any expense in the pursuance of their goals. The term carte blanche (lit. 'white card') is used in a similar way.

1. blank check

   A blank check is a check that is signed by an authorized person but does not have a specified amount of money written on it. This implies that the person who is receiving the check can fill in any amount of their choice. It represents an unlimited freedom or authority to spend an unspecified amount of money, and thus, is often used as a metaphor in non-financial contexts to mean unrestricted authority or freedom.
