In Florida, and maybe other states, in order to obtain a valid drivers’ license, one must show a clear trail from your certified copy of your birth certificate to today. They have to be able to see that the person whose birth is recorded under your name, is the person standing before them. Any marriages, divorces, remarriages, adoptions, name changes of any kind must be documented. You must show your Social Security Card.

In addition, you must produce 2 pieces of proof as to your residence. The requirements, we are told, are in response to Homeland Security regulations.

I have 2 thoughts on that. Which is worse, driving without a valid license or voting without a valid id?  And, I guess the President won’t be retiring to Florida and looking to become a registered driver.
