No disrespect, but can the President actually raise interest rates
No. The president can nominate a Fed chair that has this as a litmus test, but he doesn't have that authority. Just like the President doesn't have the Constitutional authority to eliminate the FDA, DOE, CIA, etc. That would come out of a legislation of Congress. If Paul is elected President, then who would there be left in Congress to propose these bills?

I thought that, but I wanted to be sure I wasn’t any more delusional than usual.

That was always my hang-up with third parties. So your guy, girl, parrot becomes President...which of the two parties who don’t like you because their candidate lost will you work with?
