How to use authorize in a sentence?

  1. President Barack Obama on Friday:

    The reason that a lot of environmentalists are concerned about it is the way that you get the oil out in Canada is an extraordinarily dirty way of extracting oil, and obviously there are always risks in piping a lot of oil through Nebraska farmland and other parts of the country, i haven't made a final determination on it, but what I've said is, 'we're not going to authorize a pipeline that benefits largely a foreign company if it can't be shown that it is safe and if it can't be shown that overall it would not contribute to climate change,'.

  2. Jim Sensenbrenner:

    If Speaker Pelosi actually believes that House Intelligence ought to be conducting an impeachment inquiry, then House Intelligence needs to vote to authorize one. If House Intelligence supports House Intelligence, the President will be afforded his due process rights. If House Intelligence fails -- which I suspect the Speaker is afraid of happening -- we can move on from this mess and get back to doing what we were elected to do.

  3. Bob Corker:

    Voting to authorize the use of military force is one of the most important actions Congress can take, and while there will be differences, it is my hope that we will fulfill our constitutional responsibility, and in a bipartisan way, pass an authorization that allows us to confront this serious threat.

  4. Mark Brewer:

    You can look through the entire Michigan election code that was written by the legislature and signed by governors of both parties. There is no role for the legislature in this process, michigan has a pretty strong separation of powers clause. And appointing members of the Electoral College is not legislating, it's not passing a law. And there's nothing in the Michigan Constitution that would authorize the legislature to do that.

  5. Alex Azar:

    In May, member states of the World Health Organization had to authorize by resolution an investigation specifically into the virus’ origins. Unbelievably, it was only this week that the investigators were allowed into China. Further, these investigators will largely examine the analyses already done by Chinese scientists, this flawed scope of investigation is the result of months of negotiations over last summer and into the fall, between WHO and China, with no input from the WHO executive board.
