Where does it say that the President cannot suspend habeas corpus if the events warrant it?

Wrong question. Where does it say that he CAN suspend habeas corpus? The answer is nowhere.

Where does it say that Congress can? The answer is nowhere. The Constitution says that the writ can be suspended under certain circumstances. It is silent on whether Congress is the only ones who can do it.
