No.  The requirement is the length of the original expiry period not what remains.  US passports are 10 year validity 

YMMV

It's about the validity period of the passport, not how much longer is left on it. Barring some unusual circumstances (e.g. replacement due to lost/stolen passport abroad), US passports are issued for 10 years (5 years for children).
