Congress can't bind Congress except through a rules change. It's also unseemly for a motion that passes with a simple majority to require a vote requiring a supermajority. Rules of order typically chuckle at such ham-fisted attempts to control a committee.
It passed the House; had it passed the Senate and been signed, Obama would have left the language stand because it doesn't affect him. The Congress would have largely ignored the language because, really, it doesn't affect them. Those who insisted on the language would pitch a fit and use it in campaigning; that's their business, such campaigns are local and not state.
