How to use provision in a sentence?

1. Mitch McConnell:

   Its Senate Democrats only sure path to making a law with anywhere near the urgency these Americans deserve. It is the only bill on the table with any provision for the Midwest flooding, and, its the only bill on the table that could earn a presidential signature in time to deliver urgent relief on the nutrition assistance in Puerto Rico.

2. Ron DeSantis:

   The amendment says, if you read it, that you have to complete your sentence. And I think most people understand you can be sentenced to jail, probation, restitution if you harm someone. You can be sentenced with a fine. People that bilk people out of money, sometimes that's an appropriate sentence. That's what the constitutional provision said.

3. Barack Obama:

   In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter.

4. Agustin Reyna:

   This self-preferencing provision applies to all gatekeepers, so what if Apple is identified as a gatekeeper [in this context]? Apple would not be able to self-preference its own Apple Music service in detriment of Spotify or other competitors.

5. European Securities and Markets Authority:

   The high fees charged and regular fee increases imposed by some credit rating agencies suggest there may be little effective competition for the provision of credit ratings in some specific market segments within the EU at present, while it is encouraging to see that changes are taking place, we are realistic and know there is still work to be done which is why we have made recommendations relating to further supervisory powers regarding the appointment of independent non-executive directors and enhanced enforcement powers.
