I want to kill it. Is this an EPA thing or something like that? Have any of you found anything that works?

I think you need to understand a bit more about what you are doing, and what you want.
Most all herbicides are only contact killers. You have to get it on the plant, and the plant dies. Some herbicides don't kill to the root, so more sprouts come from the root. Some do kill to the roots. Not many herbicides have residual control. Not ones you can buy anyway. But they are out there.

Someone mentioned rock salt. Yes, that will work, but it turns the soil highly acidic and it won't grow anything ever again. It basically ruins the soil. On a driveway I suppose it will work, but be careful. The salt will spread when it rains. If water runs off the area into grass you want.....
