The Kentucky legislature took the power to call special elections away from him as soon as he came in to office

No they took away his power to appoint a replacement, which is still dubious because that’s in the KY constitution. The method he can use is calling a special election.

Not exactly. What's in the KY constitution is the ability to fill statewide KY offices. It doesn't specifically mention federal office, like US Senate.
