This is right. Trump v. United States made clear that the question whether a President's action falls within his "conclusive and preclusive" constitutional authority is independent of any Congressional enactment on the subject -- even one that specifically mentions the President.

United States, pp. 8-9, \"Congress cannot act on, and courts cannot examine, the President's actions on subjects within his 'conclusive and preclusive' constitutional authority. It follows that an Act of Congress -- either a specific one targeted at the President or a generally applicable one -- may not criminalize the President's actions within his exclusive constitutional power. Neither may the courts adjudicate a criminal prosecution that examines such Presidential actions. We thus conclude that the President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority.\"",
