If you own the business yes.

I'm assuming you own your own business of less than 300 employees. Then, yes, you can give him a warning. Do as the others say and document it in his file.
If you do not have an absence/tardy policy, it would be good to draw one up. This (along with documenting each occurance) will help cover you in case you are not operating in an 'employment-at-will' state. Post it in an area where all employees can see it. Then follow it with everyone... no looking the other way if someone happens to be an outstanding worker. It may seem unneccessary now, but could potentially save you a lot of headaches and hassle in the future.

Yes. Keep documentation. Also check the unemployment compensation rules because the employer is on the hook for about half of it, I think. But if the employee is fired for cause, the employer can contest the unemployment award. I know someone who did this. I'm not sure if you have a time limit and after that you can't do it, so check the laws. Wouldn't hurt to let him know that he could be "let go" for this, without even unemployment to fall back on.

Not sure about the labor laws in your state, but if he isn't working he can be docked. Since you say it's excessive, next time send him home for the day to see if he can start being on time.

Yes, you can, after having given at least two notice before. What will be your gain ? You will be the looser, you will have to look for replacement. In case you are interested in replacement as well as take the issue, go ahead, after ensuring that you have followed the prescribed procedure.
Ensure, you don't have to swallow back, subsequently.
