The Obama administration’s plans for Congress to smoothly extend the tenure of Robert S. Mueller III as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are derailing, raising an outside chance that he may have to step down temporarily early next month.

First, a group of lawmakers led by Senator Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, objected on constitutional grounds
enacting legislation that would create a one-time shortened term and make an exception to a 10-year limit on the amount of time any person may serve as director — has been delayed by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a libertarian-leaning Republican who was elected last year. He is invoking a Senate rule that allows any member to block a swift vote on a bill.

On Thursday, Mr. Paul sent a four-page letter to Mr. Mueller saying he wanted to meet next week and asking a series of questions about F.B.I. cases and policies.

The topics included the Patriot Act, abortion rights groups, domestic militias and a terrorism-related case in Kentucky involving two Iraqis admitted to the country as refugees.

His actions absolutely does not infer that
