Imperial Jelbanian Emperor

The Emperor of Jelbania is currently Steven P. Kennedy V in the bloodless revolution of 2603. The Monarchy is relatively weak as the Emperor shares power with the popularly elected Governor General and the National Assembly. In respect for 500 years of Republican government, the Monarch and his allies decided to establish a constitutional monarchy to preserve most republican principles of government.

The line of succession to the Jelbanian Throne is a list of the people in line to succeed to the throne of the Jelbania. The succession is regulated by the House of Kennedy; which limits it to the heirs of Steven Kennedy II, as determined by male-preference primogeniture, religion, and legitimate birth:
 * A person is always immediately followed in the succession by his or her own legitimate descendants (his or her "line") except for any legitimate descendants who already appear higher in the line of succession. Birth order and gender matter: older sons (and their lines) come before younger sons (and theirs); a person's sons (and their lines), irrespective of age, all come before his or her daughters (and their lines).
 * The monarch must be a Catholic at time of accession, and enter into communion with the Selucian Catholic Church after accession.
 * Anyone who is a non-Catholic, or becomes a non-Catholic is permanently excluded from the succession.
 * A person born to parents who are not married to each other at the time of birth is not included in the line of succession. The subsequent marriage of the parents does not alter this.
