Well there are no exit controls in the US as you know, so the passport used to exit is basically the passport the airport agent types into the reservation.

Having said that, the rule is a US citizen should exit and (always) enter the US with their US passport...but it's not like anything will happen to her if she doesn't.

The complication will arise if she can't get the passport renewed abroad in time, but expired or not, she is still a US citizen with a right of re-entry - it's just unnecessary complication and stress.

Why not use one of the expedited services to get it renewed this week before departure?
