No he can’t if you plan to take a flight. Each U.S. citizen needs a valid passport for an international flight.
Should you however plan to drive and cross the land border or take a cruise he can use his birth certificate to travel being below 16 years.

In this case he also must have a notarized letter of consent signed by both of his parents.

the problem is not going but returning!! how will you be traveling by air or by land? I have heard from quite a few people that have recently traveled by land that they will let a u.s. citizen in with proof of citizenship such as a u.s birth certificate along with a government issued photo i.d. supposedly they will allow one entry with a warning, the second with a stern warning and the third time they will detain you for investigation about 3-6 hours just so you get the message that you need a passport book or passport card. i believe he will not have a major problem and if it was me and my child’s friend i would take him. remember it has only been mandatory since june 2009 and this being the first major holiday travel he won’t be the only one doing this.

one other thing you may need a notarized letter from his parents allowing him to travel out of the u.s. under your parents care.
