No. The Congress derives its power from the Constitution, not from the president. The president and Congress are co-equal branches of the govenerment: the president cannot suspend the congress, and the Congress cannot suspsend the Presidency

I am assuming that we are talking about the United States. Congress can impeach the President so this answer is partially incorrect. Also, the Constitution doesn't say whether the President can suspend Congress so he might be able to by Executive Order.
