Same reason the British royal family is in power. She was just born into it, as shown in Partners in Time.
Unlike the British royal family*, though, she is actually useful. She's been shown several times to be adept at keeping her kingdom peaceful and happy, and when there is a crisis in the Mushroom Kingdom she is willing to take charge and get to the bottom of things (as evidenced well at the beginning of Bowser's Inside Story).
I don't think she's a bad ruler, simply that she hasn't been given many opportunities within the actual games to really show what she can do as an executive (mostly because the games begin with her being kidnapped). But it's strongly implied that outside the games she is a decent and well-loved ruler.
