Form I-9 specifies that you must provide identification: one from
List A (identity and employment eligibility), OR two:  one from
List B (identity), and one from List C (employment eligibility).

Employers are not allowed to limit what identification you supply,
so they can't, for example, take US passports but not "green cards"
(which are both on List A).

No.  A driver's license is in List B (identity).  Interestingly,
so is a voter registration card.

I believe it is possible for someone to retire to the United States,
live here permanently, but NOT be a citizen and NOT be permitted
to work here.  And there is some way to let them have a driver's
license.

A passport is in List A (and it explicitly says "unexpired or
expired").

No, there are ways to lose your citizenship.  But apparently they
are not too worried about large numbers of draft dodgers revoking
their citizenship, moving to Canada, and then sneaking back here
to work.
