Nowhere is it forbidden either.
Article 1, Section 9 speaks --even by your interpretation -- to the powers of Congress. The document is silent on what the president may do, but it does refer to the Writ as a privilege.
This all, all of it, the whole neo-reb rant, comes down to this one thing:
The federalists soft-pedaled what they were selling with a lot of euphemistic language. But there is no doubt that over time most people in the United States came to adopt their view. That is why we are living in the United States and not the North American Balkan States.
All I can figure is that the United States is not European enough for you.

First off, selling the furniture out of the White House isn't explicitly forbidden in the Constitution. Does that mean the president can do it?
Second, you are incorrect. It is not a power of the president because in no place does the Constitution even remotely hint at extending the suspension power to the president, though it does to the legislature and in doing so indicates that such an extension must be specified, or "herein granted." Try again.
