No, there is no consideration for this promise as you are giving nothing in exchange for this promise (in your hypothetical). If you reasonably relied on the promise to your detriment, you may have a promissory estoppel argument to enforce the promise.
This is America. You can sue anybody for anything. Really, really. I doubt you'd get anything though.
