No the US president does not have the authority to do so. One of the hallmarks of the Federal system is that the three branches of government are independent. So the president (executive branch), Congress (legislative branch), and judges (judicial branch) basically have no power over one another.
Instead, there's a system where each branch has some authority over each other branch. For example, Congress can impeach (fire) the president or a judge in extreme cases. And a president can veto Congress's legislation.
Just to make it clear: the president isn't the boss of anyone in Congress, on the courts, or state officials, etc. General speaking, the big-name offices that the president is boss of are Vice-President (though the president can't fire the vice pres), Secretary of ______, and the military.
