Thats my understanding as well. However, three times I was REQUIRED to
show my passport. When leaving the USA, when entering Canada and again
Clearing USA customs.

I do know that when crossing the border by foot or car there are warning
signs on the USA side that state for return a Drivers License is not
proof of citizenship. It said a notorized birth certificate is, but
that two valid forms maybe required at the agents descretion.
