and lets assume that Dany is out for being a female, and Jon is out for being a bastard, and that Aegon is a fake (if its too hard to assume these things, just pretend they are dead).

who would be king by law, in that situation?

Since you included Aegon in question, Captain Obvious says = Stannis.

But i know that's not what you're looking for. I expect all hell will break loose if Tommen dies and Baratheon line officially done for. I'll guess and say the Lannisters make a claim based on 5 or 6 steps back in history -- however much troubled that claim would be. Tommen and Cersei need to do some forward thinking and retire Jamie from the Kingsguard!
