Following a reelection victory in the [[January 2024 Cascadia presidential election|January 2024 General Election]], Raptor would become Speaker of the House, running for the position due to a lack of almost anyone else doing so. He would remain as Speaker for the following 2 terms, enforcing order in the sometimes chaotic House of Representatives which he oversaw. Most notably, he repeatedly fought to enforce the rules regarding House Debates, which are publicly viewable and most be put up 2 hours before a bill can be proposed to the House. Although there were attempts around this time to make House debates more private, Raptor would effectively shut down these attempts, as well as attempts to circumnavigate the time requirement for how long a bill must be debated before being proposed. As part of this issue, Raptor made more stringent debate requirements for resolutions, and set the precedent that a bill proposed in the previous Legislature must be put to debate again in a new term. Much of this debate was in the backdrop of a political fight between Raptor and Secretary of State Milgorn123 over whether or not Cascadia should adopt a formal claim map, to which Raptor was opposed since he believed it would limit their options in the future. This period of the Legislature was also notable for the [[Great North Icerail Crisis]], during which Raptor attempted to maintain decorum in the House and would attempt to argue that the Department of Interior did have the right to maintain the ice rails that they built, though he also pointed out that the Secretary of Interior, [[Moxiecodone]], had clearly failed to properly explain the controversial proposals involved to the public.

During his 2nd term as Speaker of the House, Raptor would speak with President Setrus, former President Akeboun, and Secretary of Defense Cheeseballfluffy about the establishment of an intelligence agency for Cascadia. The Office of National Intelligence was then established a division within the National Guard, marking the creation of Cascadia's first organized intelligence agency. Raptor would also help push for the creation of several new national parks during this time, most notably Hakai National Park, which remains one of the largest national parks in the nation. While acting as Speaker, Raptor also gained a seat on the Electoral Commission, the body which proposes the borders and names of the various electoral districts of Cascadia. A Frontiersman, Raptor was one of many upset that the Frontier's district continued to be called the "Eastern" district, and would fight for the name to be changed back to their traditional name. This battle would last for some time, and was opposed by Chief Justice [[~~SayerQT~~]], who preferred cardinal direction names in an attempt to suppress regionalism. Raptor, with the support of Moxie, ultimately won out and the Frontier ~~District was restored~~, alongside the Northern ~~District~~ being ~~restored~~ to ~~the~~ Great North ~~District~~. There was an attempt by Raptor and Moxie to do away with cardinal names all-together, proposing that the Southern District be renamed to "Sierra" or "Mojave", however these plans met opposition from the geographically and culturally diverse South, where it was ultimately determined that "Southern" was the best name acceptable to everyone.
