Another point in favor of President Arthur not mentioned is that he was the father of the modern American Navy. By time he became president the Navy had fallen into a really embarrassing condition and was a bit of an international joke. It is unlikely that the US had more than three ships that cold be described as even semi-modern. Arthur secured funding from Congress to build modern steam powered warships made of steel and armed with the latest in rifled naval cannons.
I had some journalists from NPR approach me about the D.W. and Arthur Cartoon on PBS in the early 1990s. There might be a connection between this Pres. Arthur and PBS.
I had heard of Pres. Garfield, but never have heard that Arthur was responsible for the Chinese Exclusion Act, and came in to power after Garfield's assassination. Wow.

I don't mean to be a brat, but they're playing Japanese music for the Chinese Exclusion Act. That's just a slap in the face.

One of his pictures reminds me of Weird Al Y. the parody singer who seems to get away with uncanny parodies of celebrities in our time.

Also, I would say that he is responsible for the 'Civil Service Exams' which reward merit over other methods of employing government workers. hm.

@duanewong Oh, it says that Arthur didn't support it but Congress passed it and did so without his 'blessing.'
