How is Jon the rightful heir to the seven kingdoms? Robert took them by conquest. Stannis has more of a claim at the moment than any Targaryen.
Because Robert was an usurper, and by divine right (which I think Stannis adheres greatly to) Jon's rightful place on the throne was stolen from him. He'd certainly say that Jon has more of a right to be there than Tommen. I think Jon is the only person Stannis would bend the knee to.

I am pretty positive that Stannis does not view Robert as a usurper. If he thought like that, then shouldn't the children of the forest be the rulers of Westeros. If conquest means nothing, then the Targs have no right to reign over Westeros either. The reason he is so fixated on getting Cersei's spawn off the Iron Throne is because they are ruling falsely. They are portrayed as Robert's offspring when we all know they are not.
If Stannis truly believed his brother was a usurper, he would be spending his time finding Dany instead of trying to take the Iron Throne for himself.
