I am going to say that for most people in positions of leadership in the United States the idea of Commonwealth membership probably has never occurred to them. Since the commonwealth is by enlarge an evolution of the British Empire and the United States left the empire long before the Commonwealth was around. That being said I dont really see any benefit to the United States joining the Commonwealth.
