By what right

Hi

Would you say that the use of by what right natural here?

  1. By what right, do you ask these questions?
  2. By what right, could I go to the party?
  3. By what right, should I be here?

Thanks,

Tom

Only #1 sounds apt. The phrase is legal or quasi-legal in tone. Don't put a comma after it.
