3. Short answer: "No."

The bill that's being held up by these amendments and proposed new clauses would change our (unwritten) constitution radically, and give the government of the day enormous powers to change and make laws without having to deal with Parliament.

The hold-ups won't directly affect the process of Article 50, but may ensure at least some parliamentary accountability for the government's agenda.
