Based on the Fourteenth Amendment, Alexandra would be a citizen of the United States. United States law does allow for dual and triple citizenship, which means being a citizen of more than one country. The Fourteenth Amendment states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States," so Alexandra would be a U.S. citizen because she was born in Michigan. She would also be a citizen of France and the United Kingdom.

Answer: A citizen of the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though Alexandra's father is a citizen of France and her mother is a citizen of the United Kingdom. Since Alexandra was born in Michigan, she automatically becomes a citizen of the United States.

According to the Fourteenth Amendment, citizenship is granted to anyone that's born or anyone that naturalized in the United States. Therefore, since she was born in Michigan, she is a citizen.
