If it truly meant the husband of one wife, you'd have to take it exactly literally and that means any man who has been married more than once, regardless of whether the first marriage was ended by death, could not be a Bishop.

Husband of One wife according to the authority of scripture. Being divorced would be outside the scope of the authority of Scripture.
Taking on a wife once has already passed does not fit into the idea of being the husband of one wife for the office of Bishop or Pastor.
What is your thought on a man becoming a Bishop if his divorce happened years before he was saved?
I think the record starts at salvation.
