[edit] Heirs Presumptive

I was going to remove that whole section, but decided to just leave it since some people have this belief.

In the 22nd Article of both the 1864 and the 1887 Constitution it says how either through the descendants of the ruling monarch, or the monarch can appoint someone, or in the case of no descendants and the monarch not appointing anyone as heir to the throne, that they can vote for one at the discretion of the Legislature.

Queen Lili'uokalani had proclaimed that her niece Princess V. Kawekiu Lunalilo Ka'iulani as heir-apparent to the throne. Apparently she also had Prince D. Kawananakoa and Prince J. Kuhio Kalaniana'ole to succeed after Princess Ka'iulani. However Ka'iulani died in 1899, never got to ascend to the throne. Because of that, the next person in line was Kawananakoa, but he died in 1908. He too never got to ascend to the throne, so at his death it makes Kalaniana'ole the next person in line. He also never got to ascend to the throne.

Had any of these 3 ascended to the throne, their descendants would have qualified (according to Article 22) to be heirs to the throne. But none of them did, and only one of them (Kawananakoa) had descendants. But because Kawananakoa never ascended to the throne, that automatically ruled out his descendants.

Because of Article 22, the Kawananakoa family has no claim to the throne. Owana S. has no claim to the throne. Akahi Nui has no claim to the throne. No one else has claim to the throne.

[edit] The Governmenr of Hawaii?

Exactly when did the government of the Government of Hawaii, that is the government of the US state of Hawaii ever recognize anybody as the rightful heir to the throne?

While historians, members of the Government of Hawaii and a majority of Hawaii residents have considered the House of Kawananakoa the rightful heirs to the throne,
