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.
