No. The US Constitution forbids this. Specifically, the 22nd Amendment addresses this issue. Further, no person can hold the office of Vice President if he does not qualify to hold the office of President. (Amendment 12, Section 3: ..."But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

XXII - Limiting presidential terms of office

Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.

1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more that two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.

2. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Thus, by reading both parts of the Constitution, one can see that the upper limit how long a person can serve as US President is 10 years, and 2 of those years must be the remaining portion of another President's term, served prior to his or her second election.
