Dear Uepa,
Yes he can. The 22nd Amendment states:
"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 than two years of a term to which some other
person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the
President more than once."
Former President has been only elected once to office, and hasn't
served as a President for mroe than to years instead of an elected
president. There is no prevention for a person who had been President
once, and had lost the consecutive elections, to try again - if enough
people from a national party put him as a candidate, of course.
This has actually precedence in US history:
Grover Cleveland was President twice, in non consecutive terms (22nd
President, 1885-1889; 24th President, 1893-1897).
In the middle of it, "Cleveland was defeated in the 1888 presidential
election. Although he won a larger share of the popular vote than
Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison, he received fewer electoral
votes and thus lost the election. Upon leaving the White House in
1889, Frances Cleveland told the servants, "I want you to take good
care of all the furniture and ornaments in the house, for I want to
find everything just as it is now when we come back again....four
years from today or roughly 1,460 days from now."" (SOURCE: Wikipedia,
Grover Cleveland, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Cleveland>).
