If the person is now a US citizen, there is no need to have a re-entry permit in order to be allowed back into the US after ANY length of time (be it 1 year, 2 years or more). Only if the person has a Green Card would it be necessary to apply for a reentry permit if leaving the US for 2 years or more. The time away from the US will not count in the years having lived in the US if the person is trying to meet the requirements to become a US resident. However, someone who is already a US citizen can freely come and go from the U.S. without needing any additional documentation (beyond the normal passport, etc.).
