I mean he can't run anyways.
As of now, yes. However, there are a lot of people in the US who would like to change the stipulation that naturalized citizens can not be president. So a push for this could pass, especially for someone like Schwarzenegger who is a republican and the right kind of immigrant.
That would require a constitutional amendment, and if you think the country has any chance of passing any of those with polarization as high as it is, I've got a bridge to sell you.
This was actually proposed by the delightful Orrin Hatch en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Opportunity_to_Govern_Amendment

At this moment? No. However things were not always like this and won't always be like this. If someone like Schwarzenegger was around in the 70s or 80s I could definitely see it, as the idea was popular then as well.
