Not when the wrong branch of government is suspending it in the place of the branch that the Constitution specifically directs to do so.

The Constitution nowhere says what the president may or may not do in regard to the Writ.

Article I, Section 1, which specifically gives the ONLY means of suspending the writ to Congress, says otherwise. And when it comes to trusting what the Constitution says or does not say, Walt, I tend to put more weight in the text of the document itself than in you. Sorry if you don't like that, Walt.
