Since the end of the Civil War, there have been laws dealing with the circumstances that could lead NATURAL BORN citizens to lose their citizenship. -NOTE: the below answer is for Natural born citizens - Naturalized Citizens have other criteria.
There has been substantial development in these laws over the years, but as the situation currently stands, to lose citizenship, the person must voluntarily engage in an expatriating act with the specific intention of relinquishing US citizenship. Also, regardless of the law in effect at the time of the act or acts in question, that act must result in the loss of citizenship under the law currently in effect.
Under the current scheme, there are seven acts that are considered expatriating and will result in the loss of citizenship. These are:
1. Being naturalized in a foreign country, upon the person’s own application made after reaching 18 years of age;
2. Making an oath or other declaration of allegiance to a foreign country or division thereof, again, after reaching 18 years of age;
3. Serving in the armed forces of a foreign country if those armed forces are engaged in hostilities against the US, or if the person serves as an officer;
4. Working for the government of a foreign country if the person also obtains nationality in that country, or if to work in such a position an oath or other declaration of allegiance is required;
5. Making a formal renunciation of US citizenship before a US consular officer or diplomat in a foreign country;
6. Making a formal written statement of renunciation during a state of war, if the Attorney General approves the renunciation as not contrary to US national defense; and
7. Committing an act of treason against the US, or attempting by force or the use of arms to overthrow the government of the US. Renunciation by this means can be accomplished only after a court has found the person guilty.

The U.S. does not allow for dual citizenship with most countries out there, so probabaly the easiest way to do that would be to become a citizen of another country.
Does Rosie qualify to do that? Assuming another country would want her...sure.
