Suit Tests Constitutionality of Civil Service Law
In New York on September 4 the United States Supreme Court case seeks to determine if the civil service act limits presidential power by constraining appointments to nominees presented by the civil service commissioners. The petition claims the act enables the commissioners to usurp presidential duties and orders the commissioners to show cause why a writ should not be issued. The record also mentions General Grant’s funeral expenses and political rhetoric condemning immigration and labor movements.
