Only the President of the Senate or the President Pro Tempore can call a vote on something......As we haven't got a President Pro Tempore yet we must wait for the Vice President to call a vote or for a PPT to be elected.

Senator, the need of a Constitutional Convention is overwhelming.  Rather than be mired in procedure which is ignored half the time anyways, action must be taken now, lest the convention not conclude prior to the elections
