Actually, based on what you describe, Jefferson Davis could have run for POTUS. He (to my knowledge) did not hold an office prior to his taking up arms against the US, and therefore was not an officer of the US. Same would apply to many/most Confederates. Robert E Lee was an officer in the US Army, before switching sides. Would that count? I think that's a different kind of "officer".
