My headcanon is that Dr. Zimmerman received the Moriarty program from Barclay, and discovered from it how to make sentient holograms, which is why holograms started getting sentient more regularly and by design.

Doesn't this contradict the premise of the question?

Point of order: the Constitution doesn't set the number of justices, it gives that power to Congress.

That doesn't seem like a reasonable or well thought-out idea.

What do you suppose the president has the power to do in this case?

To paraphrase Bruce Schneier, any idiot can create a universe that he himself doesn't understand.

Yes. According to Daimon Tog, "the ear is one of our most erogenous zones."

Fun fact: technically, the Vice President would preside over their own Senate trial.

The building manager should (and may be legally required to) have a fire department approved emergency plan that specifically addresses this question. Usually, the plan will be for you to await rescue.

A modern, up-to-code high rise building will have designated "places of refuge" that are designed to withstand heat and smoke, such as a pressurized stairwell with fire doors. In older buildings that don't have something like that, the plan might call for disabled people to go to the nearest (unprotected) stairway, or it might call for them to remain in their office/apartment and "defend in place". If possible, call 911 (or equivalent) to notify rescuers of your location.
