You have to change left value from 210px to 200 or even better use margin-left to count value relative to parent.

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0px;
  width: 200px;
  height: auto;
}
nav,
ul {
  margin-top: 4px;
}
nav ul li {
  border-top: 2px solid #000000;
  background-color: white;
  width: 10em;
  color: black;
  width: 200px;
  height: auto;
  padding: 5px 0px;
  font-size: 120%;
}
nav ul li:hover {
  background-color: #E88B2E;
}
nav.idk {
  color: yellow;
}
a:link {
  color: green;
}
a:visited {
  color: green;
}
a:hover {
  color: lightgreen;
}
ul li ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0px;
  width: 200px;
  height: auto;
  display: none;
}
ul li ul li {
  border-top: 2px solid #000000;
  background-color: white;
  width: 10em;
  color: black;
  width: 200px;
  height: auto;
  padding: 5px 0px;
  font-size: 120%;
}
a:link {
  text-decoration: none;
}
nav ul li:hover ul {
  /* When list item is hovered, display UL nested within. */
  display: block;
}
nav ul ul {
  /* Remove element from document flow */
  position: absolute;
  /* Position relative to its parent <li> */
  margin-left: 200px;
  top: 0;
  border-top: 1px solid #e9e9e9;
  display: none;
}
nav ul ul li {
  width: 200px;
  background: #f1f1f1;
  border: 1px solid #e9e9e9;
  border-top: 0;
}
nav ul ul li a {
  color: #a8a8a8;
  font-size: 12px;
  text-transform: none;
}
nav ul ul li a:hover {
  color: #929292;
}
