Yes, provided that he / she becomes President more than two years into the initial term. The twenty second amendment to the US Constitution stipulates that a President is not eligible for re-election if they have served more than six years in office. Gerald Ford, had he been elected in 1976, would have been eligible for re-election in 1980, for instance. No President has served more than two terms since the adoption of the amendment, however.

Andrew Johnson served less than 1 term in office, as US President. Johnson was never elected to office as President; the term he served, was the balance of President Lincoln's term, when he became President after President Lincoln was assassinated. President Johnson impeached during his 1 term as President, and was the first US President to be impeached.
