	English Act of Succession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English Act of Succession was first passed on March 23, 1534, whereby Parliament decided the heir to the Crown of England from the children of King Henry VIII.
		The Act made Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn, the true successor to the Crown by declaring Princess Mary, daughter of Catherine of Aragon, a bastard.
		This Act was overridden in 1536, when Elizabeth was declared illegitimate and was stripped of the title of princess following the conviction and execution of her mother.

	Presidential Succession Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The act declared that, in the event of the death of both the President and Vice President, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate would act as President, followed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
		As with the original 1792 act, the act of 1886 was never implemented, and no one below the Vice Presidency ever succeeded to the presidency, but again there were instances where, had the President died, resigned, or been removed from office, the Secretary of State would have succeeded to the office.
		While not directly impacting the Presidential Succession Act per se, the ratification of the amendment has significantly reduced the likelihood (barring nuclear or terrorist attack) of a Speaker of the House of Representatives being needed to act as President.

		The succession of Mary was unprecedented.(46) To a sixteenth century mind this was a guarantee of a disputed succession, a civil war or at least domination by a foreign power by marriage.
		With the exception of the settlement and exclusion provisions of the Act of Settlement, the succession remains strictly hereditary.
		Henry VIII provided for the succession of his daughters by statute, but it was therein said that the Crown should pass to females "according to their ages, as the Crown of England has been accustomed, and ought to go in cases where there be heirs female to the same" (25 Hen VIII c 22).

	Vallieres. Tudor Succession Problems.
		The succession problems of the Tudor monarchs were largely caused by their lack of issue, for none of Henry VIII's children had children, poor health and were complicated by plots arising from the uncertainty of the succession, foreign affairs, and the wishes of the monarchs of the periods in relation to Henry VIII's will.
		After Henry married Jane, in the summer of 1536 a second Succession Act was enacted to give precedence to the offspring of this marriage which was unique in that it allowed Henry to chose his heirs by letters patent or his last will, provided there was no lawful issue.
		The Treasons Act of 1571 made it high treason during Elizabeth's lifetime and a lesser offence once she was dead to denounce her right "with and by the authority of the Parliament of England" to settle the succession.

		First, the possibility of conditional consent creates the potential for considerable uncertainty as to who has succession rights and who does not, as witnessed by the public confusion as to whether the children of Princess Benedikte were in line of succession or not.
