"De facto: In fact, in deed, actually.
This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs which must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate.
Thus an office, position or status existing under a claim or color of right such as a de facto corporation.
In this sense, it is the contrary of de jure, which means rightful, legitimate, just or constitutional.
Thus an officer, king, or government de facto is one who is in actual possession of the office or supreme power, but by usurpation, or without lawful title; while an officer, king, or government de jure is one who has just claim and rightful title to the office or power; but has never had plenary possession of it, or is not in actual possession.
