Is it possible to express $\pi$ as $a^b$ for $a$ and $b$ non-transcendental numbers?

From this question I thought: the algebraic numbers are closed under the operations $+,\div,\times,-,\sqrt[n]{\cdot}$ for arbitrary $n\in\Bbb N$.

However, as far as I know, they are not closed under exponentiation. Then my questions:

  1. It is known if $\pi$ can be represented by $a^b$ for some algebraic numbers $a$ and $b$?

  2. If the above question is positive, it is known if is possible to represent $\pi$ with the form $\left(\sqrt[n]{m}\right)^{\sqrt[p]{q}}$, for integers $n,m,p,q$?
