Grab power (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurp

(Other definitions for usurp that I've seen before include "Seize power without authority" , "Take over - misappropriate" , "Appropriate without authority" , "Seize wrongfully" , "Supplant (someone in power)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
