Only if his first term was less than 2 years!
A president is allowed to serve a maximum of 10 years
FDR served 4 terms, then the law was changed because Republicans feared that he could be re-elected

The President of the United States is limited to service in that post not to exceed 10 years or two terms. This means that if one assumes the Presidency upon the death of a sitting President, if there is less than two years remaining in that term may serve two terms of his own. If there is MORE than two years remaining on the term, that person may serve only one additional term since a second term would exceed the ten year limit. This change was enacted after FDR was elected to an historic 4th term and later died in office on the eve of complete military victory in WWII.

He might be able to run, but he cannot become the US president.
