The court decision "affirmed its rule to dissolve parliament and considers it invalid," said Aly Hassan, a judicial consultant affiliated with Egypt's Justice Ministry.
The ruling is the latest move in a power struggle between Morsy and the country's military rulers, who dissolved the legislature last month.
"If yesterday's constitutional court ruling bans parliament from implementing its responsibilities then we will respect that because we are a state of the law that respects the judges and the court system," the president's statement said. "We will continue to meet with various political groups and the higher judicial council to reach a solution to the current crisis."
The parliament, recalled by Morsy, convened for less than an hour Tuesday. The session was the first since the nation's highest court said parliamentary elections were unconstitutional, prompting the military to disband the body.
"The aim of convening parliament yesterday was to discuss how to execute the court's decision," the president's statement said.

The crowd, which supports Morsy's decision, chanted and hurled water bottles as they stared down more than 100 armor-clad riot police.
