The fact is that the Constitution does not explicitly state that only Congress can suspend habeas corpus

Sure it does. Article I, Section 1 explicitly says: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States"

Now is or is not the suspension power granted in that same article?

Yeah, but the Supreme Court has never ruled that only Congress can suspend habeas corpus.
