A certificate of documentation or an endorsement on the certificate is invalid if the vessel for which it is issued-
(1) no longer meets the requirements of this chapter and regulations prescribed under this chapter applicable to the certificate or endorsement; or
(2) is placed under the command of an individual not a citizen of the United States in violation of section 12131 of this title.

In paragraph (2), the words "except for a recreational endorsement" are omitted as unnecessary because a recreational endorsement does not permit a vessel to engage in a trade.
