They can if they were only a one term president.

In 1892, former President Grover Cleveland beat incumbent President Benjamin Harrison, thereby becoming the only U. S. President to have served non-consecutive terms.

In 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate. The infighting within the Republican Party allowed Governor Woodrow Wilson to beat both Presidents Roosevelt and Taft.

Former Presidents Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore also ran as third-party candidates.

Former Presidents Ulysses S. Grant in 1880, Calvin Coolidge in 1932 and Herbert Hoover in 1940 campaigned for but failed to achieve the Republican Party nomination.

Why Joseph estrada can't run in presidency in 2010?

Former President Joseph "Erap" Estrada is not qualified to run in the 2010 presidential elections, according to Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez. The former president "can always aspire [to be president again], but he cannot run [to make his wish come true]," the Justice secretary said. "Any president who [has served] his term cannot run for any reelection," Estrada possibly considering to run for president again may constitute a breach of the executive pardon.
