The HRE was destroyed by Napoleon, who took power after the French Revolution, who overthrew the monarchy inspired by the USA revolution. In a sense American independence started the domino chain that destroyed the HRE.

It wasn’t even all that brief, it was 30 years (if you want to count 1776 as the start of the USA).
The USA was around during the reign of 3 different Emperors (Joseph II, Leopold VII, and Francis II).
