Reviewing Maester Aemon's life, I find that he had a few opportunities to become king. The Iron Throne appears to have been available to male Targaryen heirs, but not female. Perhaps the lords of the Seven Kingdoms will welcome a Targaryen queen since they don't know of any surviving male Targaryens. Welcoming an infertile Targaryen queen is another story.

If Rhaegar secretly married Lyanna, then isn't Jon the preferred choice as ruler? In fact, he'd be the one seated on the Iron Throne and Dany could be his consort... especially if he also had a second consort who was fertile. Dany says in ACOK that she wanted to learn to rule, but it also occurs to me that Jon is learning to rule and to lead.
