It doesn't matter that she's an usurper if she can, in fact, succeed in usurping it. The idea that anyone has some kind of divine right to kingship, or that the blood connection to any previous king dictates who will take the throne, is clearly wrong. For one thing, who IS the true king? The Targaryens? The Baratheons? If any answer makes sense, really, it's the old patchwork of kingdoms that the Targaryens supplanted. It certainly has the benefit that you can't call anyone involved a usurper, which is clearly untrue of any claim derived from either the Targarayen and Baratheon.

But more to the point, the fact that the kings have been Targaryen and Baratheon for however many centuries it's been proves that it doesn't fucking matter what the legal status of any candidate is; what matters is the amount of power they have, and the narrative logic of what kind of power end being regarded as supreme in ASOIAF and what kind of challenges are made to potential claimants.
