Chester Arthur
Chester Arthur was the 21st President of the United States, serving from 1881 to 1885. He became president following the assassination of James A. Garfield and is best known for his advocacy of civil service reform. Arthur signed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act into law, which aimed to reduce corruption in government hiring practices. He also implemented the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which was the first federal law to restrict immigration based on nationality. His presidency is often viewed as a turning point in the fight against patronage and corruption in American politics.
