But the right to do that is granted to Congress, not to the President.

The Constitution does not specify that the power to suspend is granted exclusively to Congress.

You are right...but the Supreme Court has always upheld that standard, particularly in the case of Lincoln’s suspension of the writ circa 1862, which was struck down on those grounds

nevertheless, the minimum standard for suspension of the writ(rebellion or invasion) has not been met since the US Civil War
