One of the basic principles laid down by the Buddha is that monks shouldn't get involved in politics. They should focus instead on the practice, exercising restraint over their words and actions so as to stay within the correct bounds of the Dhamma and the precepts.

I don't know the rules within Bddhist sects. There are many different Buddhist sects with differring rules.
There is nothing in U.S. law that prohibits Buddhists from holding office.
