I found Irony!

The technical name for the Statue of Liberty is Liberty Enlightening the World, and it was given to the United States in 1886. Grover Cleveland unveiled the statue at a ceremony on October 28, 1886—this was ironic because when Cleveland was Governor of New York prior to becoming president, he vetoed a bill approved by the state legislature to contribute $50,000 to the building of the pedestal on which the statue stands.
