歷史沿革

編輯

1871年,美國總統尤利西斯·辛普森·格蘭特美國國會通過了公務員制度改革法案,第一次成立美國公務員委員會。格蘭特總統和美國國會持續兩年撥款給委員會,直到1874年。然而嚴重依賴獵官制的美國國會(參議院更甚)沒有繼續撥款給公務員委員會。[1]格蘭特總統的繼任者——拉瑟福德·伯查德·海斯請求更新的資金,但沒有被授予。

海斯的繼任者詹姆斯·艾布拉姆·加菲爾德總統提倡改革公務員制度,但是遭獵官不成的查爾斯·J·古提奧英語Charles J. Guiteau暗殺。

加菲爾德總統的繼任者切斯特·艾倫·阿瑟總統推動了公務員制度的改革,並且遊說國會在1883年通過彭德爾頓法案。彭德爾頓法案的通過部分是由於公眾對加菲爾德總統遭暗殺的反感。德爾頓法案重新為公務員委員會提供資金,並設立了一個三人委員會負責委員會運作,由亞瑟總統任命委員。彭德爾頓法案要求某些申請人參加公務員考試,才能獲得某些工作;它也阻止了當選官員和政治任命者開除公務員,使公務員免受獵官和黨派行為的影響。阿瑟總統和隨後的總統繼續擴大公務員委員會的權力,管理更多聯邦部門的職務。公務員委員會除了減少獵官外,還減輕了美國總統任命聯邦職務的繁重責任。
