The first amendment refers specifically to Congress. I was wondering if that meant that the President could issue an executive order denying certain people freedom of religion.

Thanks in advance for any info.
I know the president must enforce the law. My question is whether the law accounts for a president who wishes to deny people basic freedoms.
It is definitely illegal for Congress to do so, but I can’t find anything in the Constitution that says that the President can’t.
