James K Polk is described as a spoilsman who appointed officers based upon their party affiliation rather than their qualifications. This book asserts that Polk followed an existing pattern of nomination that dated back to the beginning of the republic, in which the chief executives looked to qualifications first and loyalty to the party second.
