Is the constitution a contract can you sue for breach of contract can you get signatures for a special election for a new congress or president?
The Constitution is a political compact, not a personal contract. You can sue the federal or state government if you believe that your constitutional rights are being violated, but that is not a lawsuit for breach of contract. Also, bring suit under the U.S. Constitution, you have to actually have been injured by the government action - it's not enough that the government is doing something which you believe to be unconstitutional, but doesn't directly affect you.
And, no, a private citizen can't initiate a special election for President or members of Congress. The Constitution provides for no such procedure.
If the President dies, is incapacitated, resigns, or is removed from office by impeachment, the Vice President immediately becomes president, and finishes the president's term.
If the VP, for whatever reason, is unable to take office, the Speaker of the House of Representatives takes office. There a total of 18 spots in the presidential line of succession (with the Vice President being first, and the Secretary of Homeland Security being last), so, barring some unthinkable catastrophe, in which the President, VP, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and the President's entire cabinet, are killed, there's no reason to have any other method of replacing the president.
There is also no procedure for private citizens calling for a special election of members of Congress. Members of either the house or the senate can be impeached, just like any other federal official, or they can be expelled by a 2/3 vote of the house in which they sit.
In the event that a member of Congress is removed from office for any reason (resignation, death, impeachment, expulsion, etc.), the Constitution says that a replacement is to be appointed by that state's governor, and individual state laws have different procedures providing for a special election for a permanent replacement.

How can a contract law overrides a constitution?
No, contracts cannot override the Constitution. You cannot contract to do something illegal. Any agreement that violates the Constitution would be considered illegal.

And remember, the Constitution applies to, and limits ONLY governments, not private parties. Could your corporate employer offer you a contract that limits your freedom of speech? Certainly, almost all employers do so. No government could have such a contract or policy.
