Sen. Rand Paul will announce whether hell run for president by next spring, the Kentucky Republican said Monday.

Next spring well probably our decision when well make our final decision, Paul told anchor Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning.

Paul is one of a handful of Republican senators mulling a national bid in 2016.

The freshman senator is up for re-election next cycle. Kentucky law currently states Paul could not run for re-election to his Senate seat and president simultaneously.

Pauls political teamargues that rule is unconstitutional. An attempt to modify the law went nowhere in the legislature last spring.

Sen. Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, managed to tease former Rep. Anthony Weiner and slam former IRS official Lois Lerner in one zinger while speaking to an audience in New Hampshire on Thursday.

How many people here have a cellphone? Mr. Paul asked the audience, according to Breitbart News, How many people think its none of the governments damn business what you have on your cellphone?

Ive been thinking thats true, Mr. Paul continued. But Im really, really worried about Anthony Weiner. Because you know he likes to take his selfies, and hes had trouble finding a place to put them where the government cant find them. So Im thinking maybe Anthony Weiner should put his selfie in Lois Lerners emails.

Mr. Paul was in New Hampshire, site of the nations first presidential primary, for political events Thursday and Friday, only fueling speculation he is considering a 2016 White House run. The Kentucky Republican has said he will formally decide whether to run early next year, but admitted to local reporters that he hasnt discouraged the presidential speculation.
