President Garfield's time in office was short, but in that time his accomplishments included increasing the American naval power and purging corruption in the U.S. Postal Service. He also proposed a bill that eventually became the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, which stated that federal government positions are to be awarded by merit, not by political affiliation.That is something I think we can all agree on, no matter our political affiliation.
I am grateful for James A. Garfield.
