Nobody expected much from Chester A. Arthur. Although by all accounts a decent human being, he came to the presidency suddenly, when President Garfield was assassinated; up to that point, he had been known as a New York politician who helped Republican party loyalists and friends of his to get jobs in the government. So it was quite a surprise when he took office in 1881 that he began a campaign to get rid of corruption in government. In fact, to everyone's surprise (and to the annoyance of people who expected he would help them get political patronage jobs), he became a passionate reformer, making positive changes in the Civil Service system. He made some enemies as a result, but he seemed determined to make a positive difference during his time as president.
Arthur championed a tough Immigration law that excluded anyone with mental illness or those who could not take care of themselves; but he also vetoed a bill that would have excluded Chinese immigrants from coming to the US; later, congress succeeded in passing a compromise version of the bill, and Chinese immigration was limited. And as a result of certain controversial Mormon practices in the Utah Territories, he signed a bill that made polygamy a federal crime. Arthur also reformed and helped to re-energize the U.S. Navy.
His last day as president was March 4, 1885.
