Shooting a gun is well within the president's power. If he can shoot a gun with no consequences, Congress doesn't have the ability to ignore shit.

The President is also the ranking member of the military and could use the military to halt the Congress meeting, since he would be immune. It would also mean that they could not impeach or remove him because he is immune, and you cannot charge someone with immunity.
