No, the President and the Supreme Court are in two different branches of government: The Supreme Court is head of the Judicial Branch (constitutional courts), and the President is head of the Executive Branch.
The President nominates justices to the Supreme Court whenever a vacancy occurs, but does not participate in the Court's business.
Only one person in US history, William Howard Taft, has served as both President of the United States (1909-1913) and later as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1921-1930).
