Arthur assumed the presidency in 1881 following the assassination of President James A. Garfield. Initially viewed as a product of New York's political machine, Arthur surprised both allies and critics by becoming a reform-minded president. His most enduring achievement was signing the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883, which established a merit-based federal hiring system and marked a turning point in reducing political patronage within the federal government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003eArthur also championed the modernization of the United States Navy, laying the foundation for the emergence of the modern steel navy that would become a major world force in the decades that followed. Although he sought renomination in 1884, declining health from Bright's disease prevented him from mounting a successful campaign, and he left office after a single term. Today, Arthur is recognized as a president whose commitment to reform exceeded the expectations of his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2124\"\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Encapsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2127\"\u003eThis cut signature has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA\/DNA as \u003cstrong data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003e\"Authentic Auto.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2577\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1szjhey\" data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2267\"\u003ePSA\/DNA Certification Number: \u003cstrong data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2267\"\u003e84919954\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1u7juao\" data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2355\"\u003eProfessionally encapsulated by PSA\/DNA for permanent preservation and authentication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"tzsrtc\" data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2577\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2358\" data-end=\"2400\"\u003eAdditional Documentation \u0026amp; Provenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"2401\" data-end=\"2577\"\u003eAt buyer’s request, Historical Autographs Gallery will include an additional “Historical Autographs Gallery Certificate” signed by our company founder Luke Pascal at no cost.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"2579\" data-end=\"2988\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2579\" data-end=\"2598\"\u003eClosing Appeal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2598\" data-end=\"2601\"\u003eThis authentic Chester A.
