Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, is considering a presidential bid in 2016.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- Sen. Rand Paul has gotten questions from the media lately at nearly every stop and in almost every interview about where he stands on combating the threat of ISIS.

Because he's seriously thinking about running for president, his positions on major issues are being carefully scrutinized.

In an interview Monday on Fox News, Paul was asked: "If a vote were to come to Congress to ask you to go to war against ISIS -- and to call it that -- would you vote yes?"

"Yes," he responded, though he added that he'd try to sunset the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, a measure that the Obama administration is using as the legal basis for airstrikes against ISIS.

It was passed shortly after the 9/11 attacks and has been used for military action against terrorism ever since.

"I do favor doing something about ISIS. I would vote yes," he continued.
