  We critically evaluate the treatment of the notion of measurement in the
Consistent Histories approach to quantum mechanics. We find such a treatment
unsatisfactory because it relies, often implicitly, on elements external to
those provided by the formalism. In particular, we note that, in order for the
formalism to be informative when dealing with measurement scenarios, one needs
to assume that the appropriate choice of framework is such that apparatuses are
always in states of well defined pointer positions after measurements. The
problem is that there is nothing in the formalism to justify this assumption.
We conclude that the Consistent Histories approach, contrary to what is claimed
by its proponents, fails to provide a truly satisfactory resolution for the
measurement problem in quantum theory.
