They did give some thought to commerce raiding, but, the U.S. was obligated to abide by signed agreements about unrestricted submarine warfare, and had a lot to loose, if such a war came to pass. The U.S. declared war on Germany in WWI partly about this.

In a way, we were somewhat fortunate to have a fairly capable submarine fleet ready in '41.
