If he's actually registered, that is.

A candidate for president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.[2]
A candidate may declare his or her candidacy at any time, but once he or she receives contributions or make expenditures in excess of $5,000, the candidate must register with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 15 days.[2]

(24,156 posts)The Can't-idates: Running For President When Nobody Knows Your Name
by Craig Tomashoff
The Cant-idates: Running For President When Nobody Knows Your Name is award-winning journalist Craig Tomashoffs deeply personal and profoundly inspiring chronicle of his 10,000-mile journey across the country to find a unique group of people who know better than most of us whats really happening in forgotten Americasome of the 1,800+ FEC-approved 2016 presidential candidates. The media and politicians always dismiss these people as tin foil hat-wearing loonies who live in moms basement. And sure, most of them will never get more votes than they can count on their fingers and toes. However, from the biker in Boise to the would-be rapper in Las Vegas to the street preacher in Cleveland, Tomashoff introduces readers to a fascinating group of Cant-idates (citizen candidates who keep getting told what they cant do), whose faith in the very system that excludes them is what can actually make America great again. As we approach the 2020 election in our increasingly cynical and divisive country, their belief that any of us could still grow up to be president someday isnt crazy. In fact, that hope is the only thing that can inspire weary voters to believe in politics again.
