"legally and lawfully' married in the Temple ceremony?

When was this phrase put into the Temple ceremony?
Since all bigamy was illegal during Joseph Smiths time, it must not have been there then.
If not, when was it added?
By being there it takes away Polygamy/Plural Marriage completely if one is to follow its meaning. This includes all the US, Mexico and Canada. It takes away all excuse for more than one wife 'alive at the same time'.
If this really is believed and was part of the Temple ceremony during Josephs time or at any time during the active practice of Polygamy, doesn't that make all those doing so Adulterers?
