There were no one power in the Sumerian Priest-governor City-States! Only when their city-states are being attacked by foreigners is when the Priest-governors chose one in an election from all the Sumerian Priest-governors. Only then does his temporary authority reigns all of the Sumerian Empire until the conflict ceases. It was similar to the US Confederate Constitution of 1776 was (Each US State governor had the higher power over his State) until it was overthrown when the British won the World Wars with the European Confederation States.
