No.

If you are a visitor why do you need an American driving license? The answer
to your question is no but you can drive on a legal foreign license as a
visitor and even rent a car on a legal foreign license. Hoping I am wrong
and sorry to judge but your question has some very illegal overtones?!

You can get an international driver's license in your home country. You will
not be issued a US state driver's license on a tourist visa. You have to be a
resident of the state in which it is issued, which obviously you are not.

Actually there's no residency requirement in certain states. And the
person may have not passed the driving exam in his home country in the
first place so he is not eligible for int'l driving license from his
home country.

No you cant get a US DL.

You could use your country's driver's license for 'bout 1 yr from the date you entered USA. Though you have to check some states if they do acknowledge this rule. Just bring along your passport everytime you drive as proof that you're still at the context of 1 yr-use of your local DL.

Have fun!

Since most states seem to be changing their requirements for driver
licenses in the past 2 years can you name any that do not have residency
requirements now?

They seem to have changed their minds

"FOREIGN NATIONALS

Driver's license personnel will ask any person applying for a driver's
license or non-driver identification card if he/she is a citizen of the
United States. If the person is a foreign national who is temporarily
present in the country, the term of license or non-driver identification
card will be limited to the period of time the foreign national is
authorized to remain in the United States, but not to exceed two years."

If the visitor will reside more than 1 month then he is certainly eligible
for a DL from IA. Please read the entire page you are forwarding
