There are 3 columns of possible identification - A, B & C.
List A are documents which establish both identity and employment authorization.
List B are documents that establish identity.
List C are documents that establish employment authorization.
You need 1 from either A or B AND at least 1 from C.
List A has such things as:
US Passport or Passport Card
Permanent Resident Card
Foreign Passport with I-551 stamp.
List B has things like:
Driver's License or ID card (from a State agency)
Voter registration card
US Military ID card
List C is the one you were most wondering about and it contains:
SSN
Certification of Birth Abroad (but still citizen)
Original Birth Certificate
Employment authorization issued by the Department of Homeland Security
Again, you need 1 from EITHER A or B, but you HAVE to have 1 from C to be hired.

This is not exactly correct.
You need either A
OR both b and c
Any document from A is supposed to satisfy both citizenship and employment eligibility. It's supposed to be all you HAVE to show to satisfy the law.
In practical use, however, I have found that nobody I've worked for will hire you without seeing your social security card, no matter what the I-9 says. When i first got my passport, I tried to use it for all kinds of things like buying beer, and yes, twice for the sole document I should have to present to HR to get hired. I got the beer (after much scrutiny). I had to show my SS card anyway.

I was gonna say, a passport is pretty much number 1 as far as I.D. goes.
that's been my personal experience even though the passport should be enough.
