It's not a line-item veto. That wiki page mentions it has not become law. As far as I can tell, the bill is in committee. Both the House and Senate have to vote on the exact same bill. But both houses like to make their own changes. So each pass their own version of the bill, then meet in committee to come up with a version they both agree on, this new one goes back to both houses and they pass it. What I suspect is being claimed is that it says "shareholders" in both the House and Senate versions that already passed, and the White House is asking the committee to change that to "shareholder", otherwise Obama will veto it.
