Washington (CNN) The presidential campaign of Sen. Rand Paul took down a web video Monday after the Senate Rules Committee determined its use of Senate floor proceedings in the posting violated the chamber's rules.

The video, which was posted on YouTube on Friday, used excerpts of a recent floor speech the Kentucky Republican delivered about his opposition to continuing a National Security Agency program that sweeps up a vast amount of call data from Americans in its search for terrorists.

"Use of any duplication of television coverage of the proceedings of the Senate for campaign purposes is strictly prohibited," said Brian Hart, a spokesman for Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, the chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, citing the standing rules of the Senate.

"The Rules Committee advised Sen. Paul's office and they agreed to take the video down," he said.
