The battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack can be seen as a draw in a short-term, however, it was really a victory for the US in the long term.
During the Battle of Hampton Roads, the Merrimack was sent by the South to try to break the US blockade that was situated around the Southern Coastal lines. As the Merrimack was a Ironclad ship (A wooden ship that was fitted with metal armor), and Armor-Piercing shells were not created yet, many of the cannon-balls were bouncing off of the ship. This prompted the US to send their own ironclad, called the "Monitor", which, like the Merrimack, was armored with iron plates, but the key feature was the revolving turret. Through the battle, the Monitor's turret was jammed after taking considerable hits from the Merrimack, but accomplished the goal of routing the Merrimack.
So in the end, it could be seen as a draw, as neither was able to destroy each other.

Answer:
The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise.
The Cabinet and independent federal agencies are responsible for the day-to-day enforcement and administration of federal laws. These departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities as widely divergent as those of the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Social Security Administration and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Including members of the armed forces, the Executive Branch employs more than 4 million Americans.
