Yes and no, it depends by the definition of "North America". North America spans a range of latitude from Panama (at 7 deg N) to Alert, Nunavut, Canada (at 82 deg N).
The part of the North American continent that is located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn (23.5 degs N and S) will have the sun directly overhead twice each year (such as in Mexico City, at 19 deg N), however on the mainland United States (ranging from 25N to 49N) the sun is never directly overhead.
