  The electromagnetic form factor of the pion is calculated in a pseudoscalar
field theoretical model which constituent quarks. We extract the form factor
using the "+" component of the electromagnetic current in the light-cone
formalism. For comparison, we also compute the form factor in the covariant
framework and we obtain perfect agreement. It is shown that the pair terms do
not contribute in this pseudoscalar model. This explains why a naive light-cone
calculation, i.e., omitting pair terms from the onset, also yields the same
results.
