here. Did you mean interstate commerce clause in the Constitution?
Second, no, the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution allows Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce--which per the original intent of the ratifiers meant that Congress could pass laws that facilitate (or make regular) commerce between the states, tribes, and foreign nations.
Even if you accept the incorrect interpretation of this clause (being that it empowers Congress to interfere, instead of facilitate, commerce), then the clause still doesn't apply here. We're talking about a state issuing driver's licenses to its residents; there is simply no interstate commerce at play. And, this is an act of the Executive branch not Congress. The Executive branch isn't empowered by the interstate commerce clause at all.
