From a legal stand-point certainly. However, from a practical standpoint, it would be very hard to take the nomination from an incumbent president and then win the election. Unless the president dropped out early, the conflict within the party would probably doom the campaign to failure.

This happened in 1800 when VP Thomas Jefferson ran against President John Adams.

Since then the Constitution has been amended so that the president and vice-president are from the same party. so it is not likely to happen again.
