This Act was overridden by the Act of Succession, 1536, whereby Edward, son of Jane Seymour, was recognized as first in line for the throne by declaring all previous marriages of the King unlawful and proclaiming both the Princesses as illegitimate.
The currently applicable law is the Act of Settlement. It specifies conditions to be met in order to succeed, and specifies that it is for Parliament to determine who should succeed to the throne, not the monarch.
