Abstract
On June 19, 1959, The Washington Post and Times Herald headlined the Senate's rejection of Lewis L. Strauss for Secretary of Commerce by a vote of 49 to 46. We are interested in the present rejection only as a part of the larger question: when, if ever, should the Senate reject Presidential nominations to the Cabinet. In order to arrive at any conclusions in this matter, we shall review the several rejections up to Strauss. A few interesting observations on the origin and growth of the Cabinet as a constitutional custom may first be in order.
