Also, examination and tests were conducted before appointments would be made to occupy public posts.

Martin Van Buren
Martin Van Buren was the president during the famous panic of 1837 when there was massive economic crisis in the country. It was the first economic depression the country had ever experienced. The policies he initiated to revamp the economy weren’t noticeable in terms of effects until after his tenure was over. This means someone else received the credit.
