Ever hear the term "checks and balances"? One of the checks (limits) on the power of the President is that he cannot do what you describe. This means that once appointed the members of the Supreme Court can consider laws and cases without outside influence.

Checks And Balances is what the concept is called. The chief executive appoints the supreme court justices but the upper house of the legislature must approve his choices, so no one part of government rules over the others.

veto
Checks and balances are in place so that no one branch of government becomes too powerful. Congress can veto the President's proposed laws, and the Supreme Court can rule that a law is unconstitutional. This way, the president does not have all the power and rule like a king.
If the President is the one impeached, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the trial.
Selects judges
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).
