Answer 2

Nowadays, you need a passport. Effective Jan 1st, 2007.

Answer 3

NO you can't, but you are only slightly off.  If you use a land crossing, you need BOTH your drivers license AND your birth certificate; or a passport.  If you fly a passport is mandatory.   Next summer it changes to passport only.
