Revision 283256655 of "Line of succession to the Hawaiian throne" on enwiki{{Former monarchic orders of succession}}
The [[Hawaiian Kingdom]] [[Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy|was abolished]] and replaced with a republic in 1893, when Queen Liluokalani was deposed by a group of American businessmen. A rebellion two years later forced [[Liliuokalani]] to [[Abdication|relinquish her right]] to the throne. With more than one current [[pretender]], there is now no commonly recognized claimant to the Hawaiian throne. Before the reign of King [[Kalakaua]] there had never been an established line of succession in Hawaii, save when King [[Kamehameha III]] chose fifteen children from the [[Chiefs' Children's School]] and declared them eligible to succeed to the throne with the consent of the [[House of Nobles]]. But the status of these persons as heirs apparent or heirs presumative can be interpreted only merely as the closest relatives of the reigning monarch and not as constitutionally legal heirs.
The Hawaiian monarchy operated under male [[primogeniture]]. Dynasts were to be lawfully begotten and of lawful descent in a direct line.
Section 1, Article 26, of the [[1852 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii]] states that <blockquote>''"No person shall ever sit upon the throne who has been convicted of any infamous crime, or who is insane or an idiot. No person shall ever succeed to the crown, unless he be a descendant of the aboriginal stock of [[alii|Ali{{okina}}is]]."''</blockquote>
Article 22 of the [[1864 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii]] states that <blockquote>''The Succession shall be to the senior male child, and to the heirs of his body; failing a male child, the succession shall be to the senior female child, and to the heirs of her body.<ref>[http://www.hawaii-nation.org/constitution-1864.html Kingdom of Hawaii Constitution of 1864<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref></blockquote> Article 23 states that <blockquote>''"It shall not be lawful for any member of the Royal Family of Hawaii who may by Law succeed to the Throne, to contract Marriage without the consent of the Reigning Sovereign. Every Marriage so contracted shall be void, and the person so contracting a Marriage, may, by the Proclamation of the Reigning Sovereign, be declared to have forfeited His of Her right to the Throne, and after such Proclamation, the Right of Succession shall vest in the next Heir as though such offender were Dead.''</blockquote>

=== [[House of Laanui|Laanui]] line of succession ===
In 1844, His Majesty [[King Kamehameha III]], in collaboration with the National Assembly in [[Lahaina]], declared Her Royal Highness [[Princess Elizabeth Keka'aniau La'anui]], among other young member of the royal family, to be eligible for the throne of Hawaii. This was enacted as law and was continued in all subsequent constitutions of the [[Kingdom of Hawaii]]. Princess Keka'aniau's next-in-line successor was her only niece, Her Royal Highness [[Princess Theresa Owana Ka'ohelelani La'anui]], and that princess's descendants.
Central to the claim advanced by the House of Laanui' is an 1844 listing of fifteen students of the [[Chiefs' Children's School#Famous Alumini|Chiefs Children's School]] endorsed by Kamehameha III as "Princes and Chiefs eligible to be Rulers" (in time, five of them did), which included Elizabeth Keka'aniau.
