I think I'm using a different definition of authority, but I do 100% agree with your stance. I'm not going to quibble over semantics and the definition of words, just know that we are under complete agreement of the broader issue. 

That is a contractual clause not delegation of authority. You agree with something in exchange for something.

Authority comes from author. You cannot delegate your own author-ity, it's only yours.
What you can delegate, indeed, is to *act* in your behalf, but that is power of attorney.

Whoever have any authority over you, it means slavery. They OWN you.

Do you believe in authority?

I agree with that video,and I don't believe in the governments right to act immorally. We are on the same page, so let me try to clarify what I was saying. 

I have given my company the authority to make decisions on my behalf. They have chosen a code of conduct that I must follow along with a dress code. I agree with these rules in return for compensation. 

I have NOT given the government the authority to make decisions on my behalf, therefore I do not believe in their authority.
