Abstract
The federal government's bureaucracy is growing larger and the old method of selecting people for public office has not grown with it. The Pendleton Act, passed early in 1883 attempts to remedy the situation, but it only applies to 10 to 15% of the federal workforce The fact that the bill authorizes the president to expand the classified list allows presidents in the decades to come to do just that.
