A military coup is only illegal if it is unsuccessful. The military coup to overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy was successful, so it wasn't illegal. The military coup made all previous laws and government null and void. It was made even more legal by annexation.
If the Hawaiians were smart, they would stop focusing so much energy on the legality of the overthrow under Hawaiian monarchy law and start building the case against the Missionary Party that conspired and committed treason, acting as traitors against the US government and the US Constitution, and to seek reparations and compensation.
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
