I guess that my question is, what would be required for proof of citizenship? It would have to be more than a drivers license, wouldn’t it?

It strikes me, and maybe I’m wrong, but if Republicans shut down the government right before the election, won’t that alienate a lot of moderates and independents? Members in very red districts would be safe, but what about everyone else? Could that be a last minute issue to rally voters to vote blue?
My understanding is that Social Security keeps track of citizenship status. If so, it would be easy enough for state election officials to verify citizenship status by accessing the Social Security database. That simple idea is not included in the SAVE Act. Wonder why.
You're right on question #1. It could be a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or passport, and there's also such a thing as a certificate of citizenship. None of these are things you can get overnight. A birth certificate can take months. If I needed one, I couldn't get it before election day.
On question #2, your answer certainly seems logical to me!
