I agree with theprestige.

Also, there is a flaw in your plan. If anyone could call for a vote of the entire body, then a party might try to game the system by introducing 20 or 30 votes everyday. Plus, and this is the point that would annoy me the most, sanctimonious religious fundamentalist would always be demanding votes on things like:
Resolved: America is a Christian nation.
Resolved: Prayer in school is the only thing that will save America's soul
Resolved: Evolution is a lie
