I'm afraid such a checkride wouldn't get very far: 61.123h says a
commercial-pilot applicant must "hold at least a private pilot
certificate" (or be a military pilot).

Does it say for how long he has to hold it?

Well, at least long enough to accumulate 250 hours of flight time, 50 hours
of cross-country PIC time, a 300-mile solo cross-country flight, etc.
