Paul’s comments came to the New Hampshire chapter of Generation Opportunity, a national grassroots conservative group with a libertarian appeal with thousands of young liberty-minded activists nationwide engaged through it.

Paul focused much of his remarks on executive overreach by President Barack Obama, saving some of his most interesting points for a question-and-answer session at the end.

“There’s a rumor going around you might run for president in a couple years,” a young man shouted as Paul took questions from the audience for several minutes after a 15-plus-minute speech.

“Man, who started that?” Paul joked with the man, who was in his mid-20s.

“I know, it’s crazy,” the young man followed up. “You spoke for a bit on the executive orders tonight. If you were to receive the presidency would you repeal previous executive orders and restrain the power of the presidency?”

“I think the first executive order that I would issue would be to repeal all previous executive orders,” Paul replied to resounding cheers through the Manchester pub, named for the beer bearing the namesakes of American revolutionary Sam Adams...

If he promises in writing to try The One on 5 counts of Treason then he’s got my vote.

Sounds like Rand Paul is desperately trying to make a Hail Mary, sort of Like Michelle Bachmann's 'I will reduce gasoline prices back to $1.80/gallon.'

I don’t trust him anymore. He seems to pull his finger out of his rear end, holds it up to see which way the winds are blowing.

Would they be “all previous executive orders” by all presidents of just those of Obama?

Not going to happen of course. But a hell of a promise. And a ballsy one IMO.

Almost, but not quite, enough to make a one issue voter of me.

If he is serious then I should say all Executive Orders since Jan. 1 1964 should do it then.

“BUT WAIT” we’ll send an additional “executive order” kit to you free. Just pay postage and handling.” Jeez!

It's a promise I wish every Republican candidate would make. Rand is so all-over-the-place, he can't help but get it right sometimes.

Wig Boy will repeal the Obama amnesty EOs - effective the day Paul’s amnesty Law takes effect.

A year or two ago, who could have predicted we’d need barf alerts for Rand Paul articles.

I guess we can thank him for self-vetting though.

Rand Paul is a liar, just like Mario Rubio and Paul Ryan and the disgraced Eric Cantor.
