No. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution specifically prohibits anyone from being elected to a third term of president, regardless of any break. It even goes further in that prohibits a vice president who assumes the presidency mid term, and serves more than two years, from being elected more than once. This essentially limits at 9 years 364 days the longest amount of time a president can hold office. This could only occur if after two years and one day in office a president leaves for whatever reason and the VP takes office. The new President can finish that term, then be elected to two full terms subsequently.
