We already have a national ID, it is called a drivers license.

A drivers license is not a requirement. I know lots of people without a drivers license.

Indeed, so do I.

Its a "voluntary" national ID.

Want to drive a car? Want to cash a check (just try it without a photo ID)? Want to buy beer and look too young? Use a credit card in North Carolina? Lots of things require a photo ID and the photo ID of choice is a DL.

Most of the folks I know without a DL are either too old to drive, to young to drive, or lost their driving privileges through poor life choices (but can still wield a weed whacker).

It may not be required, but it is necessary to most of us.
