Certainly - But he could veto the bill, and tell them to resubmit with that clause removed.
It'd bounce it back down, and start the process again - Upping the stakes on both sides.
There's a lot of political tricks that could (and have) be used when congress and the President vehemently disagree.
In this case, however, I don't think it'd ever get that far.
I don't think the issue is popular enough pass the senate, nevermind with a veto-proof majority.
Even then, The Senate is run by the Dems, and (IMO) they're unlikely to want override a veto on a President of their own party.

Remember how Obama did not do this with the NDAA that allowed indefinite detentions? His supporters were claiming that nothing could be done because it is suicidal to veto funding for the troops.
