As for the topic itself. What everyone has said up til now is on target. Only thing your all forgetting is that the Aldmeri Dominion is a bunch of jerks, and would probably help a sympathizer onto the throne to get another puppet emporer. Balgruuf is Jarl of Whiterun basically King of the Whiterun Hold. He was in the Line of Succession for Jarl of Whiterun and he so happens to be the Jarl during events of Skyrim. The immediate next in succession are probably his brother and children.

As for Emperor, there will be a load tons more of people in the line of succession
