I meant the man had his second marriage with another woman with the approval of his first wive. So, is he allowed to hold any public office in the US?

Not if he has a legal marriage with her. Polygamy is illegal (at least in most states I think) so if he's doing something illegal then no he can't hold any public office.

Polygamy is still illegal and polygamists have to keep their lives secret. If he can run for public office and successfully keep his private life a secret, then yes I suppose he could hold a public office.

you opt for to get knowledgeable on the various motives (political, cultural and non secular) poligamy exists contained in the first position. putting aside any question or stance on the morality of polygamy: each very last faith and way of existence that promotes (or perhaps merely tolerates) polygamy is of the same opinion in this one element: no man or woman must have extra better halves or toddlers than they're financially and emotionally in a position help - with out public assistance. that is a count number of wealth and belongings rights.

No. It is against the law.
