Rubber stamp = a person or institution with considerable de jure power but little de facto power, one that rarely disagrees with more powerful organs.

To rubber-stamp: To endorse, vote for, or approve without question or deliberation.

Whipped (man), pussy-whipped

Prince Harry is a 'whipped man' and will 'split' from Meghan, Trump tells Piers Morgan. Mirror

But just one quick thing before we go: Markle calls Harry “whipped”, which is usually used as a contraction of “pussy-whipped”. It is not the first time Harry has had this term levelled at him. The Guardian

Actually (in Portuguese) "pau-mandado" is usually assocaited with the act of being "ser servil, obedecer cegamente, (by definition from Aulete Dictionary). There is, somebody obsequiously/blindly willing to obey or serve another person.
Whipped (short for pussy-whipped) would be more of a "submissso/dominado" (submissive to or dominated by one's significant other).

That is, often they are translated this way.
Plus, some people don't like the "pussy-whipped" expression, they would use "she has him wrapped around her finger" OR "has him in tight leash/hen pecked" etc. Hence the "whipped" used by the tabloids and newspapers in the UK.
