Zinke has been trying to build out his portfolio of blockchain startups since 2013, when he founded a startup called Blockchain.info

Zinke, who is running an online trading platform called the Zebra Blockchain, started out at the University of Illinois, and then at Cornell University. He graduated in 2012 with a degree in finance and he's now a financial analyst at a technology accelerator firm on the Wall Street.

"I think there are a lot of people out there who have some sort of background in the blockchain, so I think that's what I'm going to have a chance to really look at how these are going to help the economy in the long term," he said.When he left the Senate, Mr. Obama said he was not going to do anything to improve the health care system. "A lot of people have wondered what I would do," he said in an interview, referring to the Affordable Care Act. "I'm going to take a lot of work and see how that works out."

A spokesman for Mr. Obama's health care advisers, Eric Shaheen, said the president was referring to the Senate's Republican-controlled House last week. But he pointed to his own party's failure to pass a health care bill and said Mr. Obama was "not going to say something that was so obvious and so important."

Mr. Obama's comments come amid questions about the health care law, with Republican leaders saying they expect to pass it soon. But the president said on Tuesday that the health law would be "finally done" in the next month or two, and that the administration was "working very closely with our partners."

Mr. Obama's call for a "continuing process" of overhauling the health care law, which was passed last month, has sparked questions about the administration's willingness to continue to push for change despite criticism from conservatives and the president's own advisers.
