IS BENTSEN,LLOYD UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The answer, Professor Paulsen argues, is yes, in the sense that Bentse n's appointment as Secretary of the Treasury is a flagrant and irremed iable violation of the Constitution's ''Emoluments Clause.'' How could such an obvious violation of the Constitution be so widely ignored, o r worse, tolerated? Professor Paulsen speculates as to the lessons the Lloyd Bentsen affair teaches about whether the Constitution really sh ould be taken seriously.
