I've read my handy dandy pocket sized copy of the Constitution over and over again looking for that darned Article, Section, and Paragraph which gives the Federal Government the power to regulate a State drivers license.

Can you help me find it?

Its not there, but I didn't see where it says the federal government cannot set standards for forms of identification it accepts for various purposes.

I dunno personally, but I suppose one could argue this part:

Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Notice they can't directly tell the states to do it. All they can do is offer federal money which is conditional on the states doing federal bidding.

I don't care for it either but the flip side is when morons like Spitzer want to make it possible for people to get licenses without SS#s or proof of residency.

Is this one of those instances where we need a federal law to tell states that if citizens want their licenses to count as a form of valid ID then the standards have to be uniform?
