Yes, several times. Most recently, President Clinton was able to balance the budget in his administration, despite having inherited a deficit from President George H.W. Bush.
It was not several times and Clinton didn't do it. In fact the national debt was $5,727,776,738,304.64 when Clinton left office. Clinton left office with about a $1.5 trillion increase to the national debt. The only time the national debt has been paid off was in 1835 under President Andrew Jackson.
