President Barack Obama earlier this month denied TransCanada's application for the oil sands pipeline, citing lack of time to review an alternative route within a 60-day window for action set by Congress. Ever since, Republicans have been looking for a vehicle to resurrect the $7 billion project, Reuters reports.
