There's no requirement to be a US citizen; the requirement is simply that you have an acceptable form of ID to prove your identity, and what's acceptable is the government's job to decide. Why doesn't your state issue driving licences that comply with the government's requirements for ID? If the law was passed in 2005, twelve years would seem an adequate period of time for them to do so.
A driving licence is an acceptable form of ID to fly on an internal flight in the UK, although I suspect that in reality most people would use a passport. Unlike in the US, the overwhelming majority of people in Britain have a passport.
